Siam becomes Thailand : a story of intrigue

How the military came to play a dominant role in Thai politics is the main theme of this work. It also looks at the nebulous period during World War II when Thailand fought a little-known war against the French in Indo-China and then aligned itself with Japan, declaring war on Britain and the USA.
