Buchbeschreibung Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ThailandâEUR(TM)s Bhumibol Adulyadej, the only king ever born in the United States, came to the throne of his country in 1946 and at the time of his death, in October 2016, was the worldâEUR(TM)s longest serving monarch. Now out in paperback with a new preface by author Paul Handley, The King Never Smiles is the first independent biography of ThailandâEUR(TM)s monarch, tells the unexpected story of BhumibolâEUR(TM)s life and seventy year ruleâEUR'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 and autocratic. Paul Handley provides an extensively researched, factual account of the kingâEUR(TM)s youth and personal development, ascent to the throne, skillful political maneuverings, and attempt to shape Thailand as a Buddhist kingdom. Handley takes full note of BhumibolâEUR(TM)s achievements in art, in sports, and in jazz, and he credits the kingâEUR(TM)s lifelong dedication to rural development and the livelihoods of his poorest subjects. But, looking beyond the widely accepted image of the king as egalitarian and virtuous, Handley portrays an anti democratic monarch who, together with allies in big business and the corrupt Thai military, protected a centuries old, barely modified feudal dynasty. When at nineteen Bhumibol assumed the throne, the Thai monarchy had been stripped of power and prestige. Over the ensuing decades, Bhumibol became the paramount political actor in the kingdom, silencing critics while winning the hearts and minds of his people. The book details this process and depicts ThailandâEUR(TM)s unique constitutional monarchâEUR'his life, his thinking, and his ruling philosophy. Artikel-Nr. 9780300228304
