A Prince Called Charlie TUNKU HALIM

This is the extraordinary life of the spirited son of Malaysia?s first king. First published as Tunku Abdullah ? A Passion of Life, this 20th anniversary edition tells his full story, from his birth in Kuala Pilah to his death at KLIA. This is much more than the story of a playboy, his partying lifestyle and his six wives. It covers his harrowing time in war-torn Japan, his controversial visit to Israel, a close friendship with Tun Mahathir and his several close shaves with death. It is also the story of Malaysia, seen through the life of one remarkable man. (less)
