N2  - Extensive account of the world's longest serving monarch. The king ascended the throne in 1946 at the age of 19 when military government had all but dismantled the monarchy. The book considers how the king was able not only to save the monarchy but return it to a central role in Thailand's political life and more importantly in the lives of the Thai people
