The King Never Smiles: A Biography of Thailand’s Bhumibol Adulyadej by Paul M. Handley
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.04 MB
Overview: The unexpected story of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s life and 60-year rule — how a Western-raised boy came to be seen by his people as a living Buddha, and how a king widely seen as beneficent and apolitical could in fact be so deeply political, autocratic, and even brutal… Blasting apart the widely accepted image of the king as egalitarian and virtuous, Handley convincingly portrays an anti-democratic monarch who, together with allies in big business and the murderous, corrupt Thai military, has protected a centuries-old, barely modified feudal dynasty.
