Abstract

The content of this book under review seems to justify its title. Those who know Mahathir Mohamad - the former Malaysian Prime Minister - quite well both as a person and as a political leader would have no hesitation in agreeing with the book’s author to call him the Malaysian maverick. Barry Wain has the qualification to write about Mahathir’s political career and his successes and failures as a political leader. An Australian journalist with much experience in the profession, Wain has lived in Asia for nearly 40 years, including covering Malaysia from 1984 to 1992 for the Asian Wall Street Journal.
