The Politics of Patriotism. The Pressure Group Activities of the Returned Servicemen's League
Canberra, Australian National University Press, 1966.
Octavo, xxx, 286 pages with 11 illustrations plus 13 plates.
Cloth; top edge a little foxed; list of plates leaf is a cancel and thus its leading edge very slightly protrudes - a production flaw; an excellent copy with the slightly sunned and browned dustwrapper with a few slight surface nibbles.
A presentation copy signed by K.W. Hoffman and Sir Thomas Charles Eastick, who commanded Kuching Force, which supervised the Japanese surrender of Sarawak and handled the liberation and repatriation of Allied POW's. He was military governor of Sarawak until January 1946, when Sarawak reverted to civilian rule. Sir Thomas was made a Companion of the Star of Sarawak by the last White Rajah of Sarawak, Charles Vyner Brooke.
