2006 reprint by Rediscovery Books SBPublished Price £28 This well-illustrated two-volume work will capture the attention of anyone with an interest in the British Empire at its height in the mid 19th century, and particularly those who want to know more about one of its least-known far-flung corners - Borneo and Sarawak in todayâs Indonesia - and one of its best-known imperialists, James âRajahâ Brooke of Sarawak, whose journals this book includes. Its author, Captain Keppel, commanding H.M.S. Dido, came from a well-known family - ( Edward VIIâs mistress Mrs Alice Keppel and Camilla Parker-Bowles are descendants) - and was charged with suppressing the native pirates who were damaging the expanding British trade among the scattered islands in the region. Keppelâs accounts of his dangerous journeys and voyages among the fierce Dyak tribes of head-hunters, and the no-less hostile terrain, make for an enthralling read. A combination of exploration and military history in the Empireâs heroic age that cannot fail to fascinate.

Henry Keppel's Expedition to Borneo is a primary account for the suppression of piracy off Borneo. 'In August 1841 Keppel commissioned the corvette Dido for the China station, where he served with distinction during the latter part of the First Opium War under Sir William Parker. When peace was made in August 1842 Keppel was sent to Singapore as senior officer on that part of the station. There he made friends with Sir James Brooke, with whom he returned to Sarawak. For eighteen months he co-operated with Brooke for the suppression of Borneo piracy, and, after many engagements, the Dido, together with the East India Company's steamship Phlegethon, destroyed the chief stronghold of the pirates, together with some 300 prahus' (ODNB).
