The author, who himself was a Chief Secretary, undertakes a survey of both how the role has developed since colonial times as well as giving brief biographies of the individuals who undertook the role. As the principal civil servant, the job also entails seeing to the management and welfare of the civil service as a whole. As a result, the book also sheds light on how the Malaysian civil service evolved in the 19th and 20th centuries. 425 pages
