The story, in which by modern standards all the characters are amiable villains, has been told often, but never with the thoroughness and balance of sources brought to it in the 1930"s by Hutchinson, who spent most of his working life at Chiengmai or Bangkok. Much of the evidence he drew on was new at that time, and he wove it into a narrative of distinction, observing the most commendable criteria as an historian. Though out of print for years, the book has not been superseded, and may never be.

From the 1985 Foreword: "One of the less considered, but grievous, misfortunes that befell old Siam when the Burmese sacked Ayuthia in 1767was the destruction of Thai records. That loss gives the extant documents written by European visitors and enhanced value... Indeed , the attractions of Europeans to Siam in the reign of King Narai became a determinant factor in the course of thai politics, especially through the foolhardy personality of the Venetian Greek adventurer, Constantine Gerakis alias 'Falcon' (spuriously rehellenised by himself as 'Phaulkon'). This friend - and subsequent enemy - of Siamese White lived for several years at Narai's court and manipulated French missionary ambitions, for his own ends, against the background of a century-long rivalry between France and Hollandand the vacillating efforts of the Portugese and the English to maintain their own trade. When his monarch-patron fell mortally ill, he too succumbed to the knives of the jealous, and Siam closed its doors again for a century and a half." Hutchinson's account included much new evidence, and he wove it into a narrative of distinction. Though out of print for years, the book has nor been superseded , and may never be.
