Description:
A Postman's Life is an oral auto-biography of the late Prasit Lulitanond (1910-1997) who, along with Alexander MacDonald, founded the Bangkok Post in 1946. It's the life of a man who witnessed the revolution that brought an end to Thailand's absolute monarchy... a man who was an active member of a war-time underground movement against the occupying Japanese force...a man who was jailed for his collaboration with 1949 coup d'etat. This little book is a personal account enlivened with inside stories of historical events. It provides a rare glimpse into Thailand's pre-war and post-war politics and how the Bangkok Post came into being.
