To' Janggut: Legends, Histories, And Perceptions
of the 1915 Rebellion in Kelantan
---
Cheah Boon Kheng
This book is an ideal for anyone wanting to understand both the complexities and responsibilities of writing history. Cheah takes a relatively minor incident, an uprising in a remote part of the peninsula that nevertheless not only inspired the people's imagination but also several different versions of what actually happened. He has looked at a range of literature, both public and confidential, as well as folklore, but leaves us to decide which version, if any, represents the real truth. 168 pages New Paperback Reprint. Originally published in 2006.
