Ibrahim The Malay Warrior / Pahlawan Melayu

This autobiography of a noteble figure in Malaysian history is also a description of historical events unfloding before the eyes of a living witness. General Tun Ibrahim Ismail's meteoric rise through the ranks of military and his involvement in policy and governance is also clearly depicted. The haunting images of the past, forever burned in his memory, serve as a reminder to those still living, of the capacity of mankind to either destroy or construct. Apart from his own personal insight, Tun Ibrahim offers the reader a window into his most private moments with his family, all of which is clevery weaved into the fabric of the tale of a Malay Warrior.

Tun Ibrahim's career, spanning more than 30 years, has certainly left an indelible mark not only in terms of a history of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), but also with regard to the political arena. His sheer determination, commanding personlaity and morally upright ethical principles have consequently made him the subject of much admiration. Not only was he intimately connect to the founder of the most powerful malay political organisation, he was helad in high esteem by the Prime Ministers of Malaysia.

This autobiography is narrated in relation to the development of the MAF and the gentle manner in which he is portrayed here with his famliy and friends betrays the softer side of a man opposed to the common perception of one cloaked in a General's uniform.
