(Kathmandu). His Majesty's Government. 1982. Stock ID #175388 A fascinating piece of propaganda from the ill-fated Shah dynasty of Nepal, set against the backdrop of growing tensions between Nepal and India regarding their territorial disputes in Nepal's north-west and south. When referring to this item please quote stockid 175388.
Black & white photographic portrait of King Birendra, 26pp. Wrappers little worn, overall a very good copy. 17 x 12cm. Scarce - we have only been able to find one current library holding.
Within, the virtues of King Birendra's poorly defined 'Zone of Peace' foreign policy idea are expounded, in which the Indian Ocean, Nepal, and conflict-prone regions in North Africa and the Middle East are proclaimed as non-aligned 'Peace Zones'. The actual execution of this concept is left unclarified, and beyond its seemingly well-meaning intentions, appears to be little more than a vanity project by a megalomaniac hoping for international acclaim.
