Translation of the 2006 memoir of a Thai police General who is also a writer, novelist, security specialist, Minister and lecturer at Chulalongkorn and New York universities. Here he writes mainly of his 12 years as Chief of the Royal Court Police and of his warm and worshipful perceptions of the Thai monarch. The period up to 2000 was riven with insurgencies, coups, and political turmoil but the insights given are mainly on royal roles and attitudes. These are of course usually heavily screened from public discussion or view. With photographs, glossary and index.
