About the book
A Zamboanga writer’s history of the Sulu Sultanate as a state that was never conquered, printed by the author.
This history of the Sulu archipelago, subtitled "a razor-sharp and bold inquiry into the dark side of history", sets out to give readers a working knowledge of the many sides of the Sulu Sultanate. A Mindanao annotated bibliography describes it as a work of historical reflection and a contribution to the small literature on the Moro peoples.
Clemencio Montecillo Bascar is a Zamboanga writer and a former professor and vice president of Western Mindanao State University. He also wrote a companion history of Maguindanao, The Crescent That Spain Failed to Plunder.
