The King of Thailand in world focus:

This is a unique and comprehensive chronicle of King Bhumibol Adulyade), the King of Thailand, as seen through the eyes of foreign journalists and photographers. The account spans eight decades-from his birth and relatively carefree childhood, to tragedy and sudden responsibility, through his formative years amidst domestic and regional turbulence, into his maturity as a champion of the have-nots and a king much admired and loved by his people.
