One of the stories of a visit to a land above the earth recounts how Si Kira gave the Dayaks three types of rice, but the author laments that he also gave them their omen-birds; the sighting of any of these birds can cause any projecteven vital chores such as the planting of rice to be postponed.

A fascinating selection of postcards with views of Sabah and Labuan from the end of the 19th century till the 1930s, with just two 1948 postcards showing post-war Sandakan and Jesselton.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 530 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. Only six escapees survived the Sandakan death marches of 1945 in North Borneo, the worst atrocity ever inflicted on Australian soldiers. 1787 Australian and 641 British POWs perished. Previous descriptions of the numerous violent acts have yielded little und…erstanding of a situation where the real struggle was to keep one's humanity when so many were losing theirs, whether Allied POWs, local residents of Borneo, Javanese slave laborers, or Japanese soldiers. Understanding this extraordinary story is aided by reference to a wide range of sources in different countries and disciplines, and by examining the perspectives of all players in this terrible game of survival. An unusual and extreme POW story, the Sandakan tragedy had four stages: active resistance in 19423, stubborn endurance in 19434, the collapse of civilized existence in 1945 and, finally, the postwar decades of torment for the six damaged survivors, the gradual assimilation of the story, the healing of the damage and the commemoration of the tragedy by the families and communities involved.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 410 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. In January 1942, the peace and tranquility enjoyed by Sabah for sixty years was shattered when Japanese invasion forces landed on both the west and east coasts. Vastly outnumbered, and compelled to lay down their arms without a shot being fired, the Sabahans…may have lost the battle, but they did not give up the fight. On the west coast, local freedom fighters formed the Kinabalu Guerrillas, taking many enemy lives before their rebellion was put down with a series of bloody reprisals. On the east coast, determined to help overthrow the occupying forces, Sandakan's civilian population established an underground movement, taking enormous risks to assist European internees and then, a few months later, hundreds of Australian prisoners of war, transported from Singapore to build an airstrip. Fully aware of the consequences, in 1943 the underground workers also enabled eight Australian POWs to escape successfully to the nearby Philippines Islands, but the conspirators' luck did not last, and shortly afterwards they were betrayed. Many POWs and Sandakan people involved in subversive activities were subsequently rounded up and subjected to terrible torture before being sent for trial to Kuching, in neighbouring Sarawak, where those not imprisoned were executed by firing squad. Despite this, others bravely continued the work, either in Sandakan or from villages along the infamous death march track, or by joining Australian special forces operating behind the lines. The story of these courageous and resilient people, which has been virtually ignored for well over sixty years, has now been documented for the first time in great detail.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 135 pp. Includes illustrations. This book presents photographs taken in the Orang Ulu longhouses and villages of the Baram and Tinjar rivers in Sarawak. The images show the arts and crafts, religious ceremonies, longhouses and their environments and other subjects that a…re unique to these places and communities. The images are part of the large, and for the most part undocumented, collection of photographs from the archive of the Sarawak Museum in Kuching. These pictures were chosen from a stock of around 1500 black and white medium format photographs taken in and around the longhouses and villages of the people called Orang Ulu, and many of them have never been published before. The photographs illustrate aspects of the way of life and the traditional culture and customs of the Orang Ulu from the 1950s onwards. They are family photographs, historical records, ethnographic documents of local culture and traditions.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 119 p. Includes: illustrations, bibliography. "Finding Jesselton is about my search to discover why a historical trading post in the South China Seas was so intriguingly once named after my great-grandfather, Sir Charles James Jessel. Therefore, I have decided to make a great effort and try and put down… in print some of the Jessel family history, as it relates to Jesselton, which never seems to have been recorded either by the family or in history books of the time. I am disappointed by the lack of recorded family history. My father s excuse for this is that my grandfather always destroyed, or burned, all their private correspondence as it might be incriminating later in life! So over the past ten years whenever possible I have tried to collect various photographs and articles and have now, with the help of Gill and Roger Joye, published authors who live in Goudhurst, been able to start my own version of our family association with North Borneo. My father has already written his own book, Memories by Request, published in 2012, which covers his childhood days up until the late 1970s, so we do have one author of quite recent Jessel history in the family. My original aim was to tell the story of my great-grandfather, Sir Charles James Jessel, but as I started to research his life I realised that, as is so often the case in many family histories, it is always about more than just one man and in this case his connection with the British North Borneo Company. And so my story starts with Aaron Jesel of Frankfurt in the mid-18th century and finishes with my grandfather who died in 1977 plus a few recent trips to Kota Kinabalu, North Borneo (Sabah) to round it off!".

Cloth. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. First English edition. Illustrated with black and white photographs, pp xx, 152; xx, 122, a very good copy in dustwrapper. The book also includes the original Japanese text. [A beautifully written Japanese soldier's memoir of the North Borneo tragedy of 1945, An End to… a War tells the story of Ueno Itsuyoshi, a late draftee into the Japanese Army in World War II. Ueno and his fellow soldiers came to Borneo expecting to fight and die for the Emperor, but instead most died of exhaustion, starvation and disease. This is undoubtedly the best eye-witness description we have of the horror of the death marches that took the lives of many thousands of Japanese, Australian, British and, indirectly, local people. Few of those who were ordered to march from the east coast ever arrived at their destinations on the west coast. Ueno's story provides a broader context to the infamous Sandakan-Ranau death marches of Allied POWs, a few of whom he met briefly on his trek. In this book (originally published in Japanese in 1984) Ueno tells of the moral dilemmas he faced as the Japanese empire crumbled around him. While not shying from describing dark deeds, he also talks of the humanity he found on both sides of the conflict. He was determined to tell the terrible story of suffering as he knew it, rather than repeat the heroic rhetoric of the Japanese military. Eloquently and sensitively told, his book has been likened to the World War I classic All Quiet on the Western Front. At war's end, the author struggled to return home, hoping only to die 'on his own tatami'. He survived, however, and then had to deal with the intense anger he felt over the waste of lives in Borneo. In 1946 he wrote this story as therapy, without intending it to be read by others. Ueno Itsuyoshi eventually recovered his health and spirits and built a good life. He returned to Borneo in 1981 to commemorate his dead colleagues, and wrote an afterword which is included in this book.].
