It traces its evolution from the 1840s soon after the founding of the Brooke Raj, with its heavy reliance on a small group of Europeans, through the later period of Brooke rule to the post-war British colonial administration. This administration, in its final years, recruited an increasing number of local officers in the preparation for self-government. This book focuses on the officers who were the mainstay of the Service and formed the point of contact between the government and the local population. It provides information on their backgrounds, modes of recruitment, training, and conditions of service. The author was formerly Research Fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore. xxi, 274 pp., 20 b&w plates, 2 maps, bibliography, index. Tape residue marks on front and rear endpapers; otherwise a new/unread copy. Size: 22 x 14 cm.
