The King'S Stratagem and Other Stories by Weyman Stanley Johns presents some unique stories about various nations of the world. It starts off with a discussion about how the king's life is always surrounded by turmoil because foreign intrigue cannot be an efficient way to bring together the very nation united under the kingship. Adhering to the storyline, it touches on subject matters such as the Miao (who belong to the state in Hunan), the Moros (the Ilocanos) in the Southern Philippines and foreign trade policy in Indonesia as well as the Zimbabweans and their justifiably bitter issues in the realm of trade. The book also reviews the crisis which African rulers face: Babies who are fathered in wedlock after the African customary tradition of polygamy, as well as a festival that takes place once during the rainy season off-course from the regions they belong to. This book will definitely give you food for thought and chill you at the very same time in an effort to see the various facet of nationalities around the globe and what goes into setting up and running societies.
