About the Book

Field Marshall Plaek Phibunsongkhram (1897-1964) served as Prime Minister of Thailand from 1938 to 1944 and from 1948 to 1957. His terms of office spanned one of the most complex and turbulent periods in Thai history, coinciding with the outbreak of the Cold War in Asia. Phibun, however, has never had a full and sympathetic treatment in Thai or English. Historians have often blamed him for Thailand's tardy development of democracy, for the continuing prominence of the military element in Thai politics, and for the perpetuation of an authoritarian style of ruling. This book, a painstakingly researched study based on recently available Thai primary and Western archival sources, as well as various secondary materials, seeks to redress that imbalance. Beginning with a detailed analysis of Phibun's character and intellectual style, it goes on to provide a reassessment of his contributions to the development of modern Thailand, particularly in the areas of socio-cultural reform, internal politics, and foreign relations.

Review :
"The author of this work has skillfully delineated the often-confusing contours of Thai political culture and Phibun's role in effecting far-reaching structural changes in the country's economic, social, and cultural life."--Choice "this study not only challenges scholars in Thai Studies but also serves to focus the debate more clearly on the possibilities and alternatives that existed in a Southeast Asian society during an exceptionally troubled period in world history."--American Historical Review
