This book is the first English translation of the original text Atjeh Sepintas Lalu published in 1950 in Bahasa Indonesia by one of Indonesia's leading lawyers, writers, and political figures, examining the history of the continuously turbulent Aceh. The book describes the legal and political situation in Aceh between 1945 and 1949, considering the events and incidents that related to the government, judiciary, civil servants, and life of the parties at the time. It unpacks the dispute between two major streams of thoughts that cut across the people of Aceh during that era - one based on religious teachings, and the other on secular principles. What followed was the unavoidable emergence of disparate groups, which, in turn, yielded conflict. The author, as a former insider in the Aceh government, was able to uncover the 'inside story' on the ground, in analyzing and discussing this fragment of the history of Aceh. A unique resource, this translation - presented six decades after it was first made available - is still invaluable today, allowing readers to interpret the events that occurred in Aceh at the time in the context of an understanding of Aceh's development today. This book will be of keen interest to specialists in Islamic law, regionalism, historians of Indonesia, as well as social scientists interested in the early post-independence history of Indonesia.

This is the 2nd edition of my previous book, "Self-Assessment for MRCP part II; 135 Best of Many Questions with Photographic Materials for MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part II Written Exams", which was published in 2009. This book is a rapid self-assessment tool. There are many clues and tricks on how to analyze and answer certain questions. Each chapter does not contain more than 15 questions; it's like a mock paper/exam. I have included many data interpretations and photographic materials. Each question has an objective. Try to target that objective. In writing this book, I tried my best to include the commonest examination themes that have been encountered recently. Good luck!
