<br/><br/> A Dream of Freedom: The early Sarawak Chinese is a gripping account of a bid for freedom from colonial shackles by a group of early Chinese settlers in Sarawak. Told with stark simplicity, it is a story of ordinary men whose extraordinary courage against crushing odds places them among the heroes of Malaysia's multi-ethnic society. This book is not only a valuable contribution to the rich collage of our shared history, it also illuminates the present with the past, giving the reader an insight into the distinctive dynamics of modern-day Sarawak politics. - Back cover.
