The royal house of Kedah stakes a claim to be the longest line of unbroken independent kingship in the Malay world. It has lasted for more than a thousand years. The author takes a rare look at the state's pre-modern history and argues that the royal house's longevity is, to a great extent, due to the unusual way in which successive sultans exploited the state's geographical, economic. and political capital. 223 pages.
