Kingdom of the Monkey

Jim Taylor, from Kent in South East England, has lived, worked and travelled within various war-zones around the world. His sense of adventure and perspective of reality is what drives him to encounter the world as it really is. After having recorded a wealth of knowledge and experience on the recent history of change in the developing nations of South East Asia, it is high time for the fourth book in his adventure-travel series to see the light of the day.
