*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Burma has lived under military rule for nearly half a century. The results of its 1990 elections were never recognized by the ruling junta and Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Burmaās pro-democracy movement, was denied her victory. She has been under housearrest ever since. Now an economic satellite and political dependent of the Peopleās Republic of China, Burma is at a crossroads. Will it become another North Korea, will it succumb to Chinaās political embrace or will the people prevail? Michael Charneyās book āthe first general history of modern Burma in over five decades - traces the highs and lows of Burmaās history from its pre-colonial past to the āSaffron Revolutionā of 2007. By exploring key themes such as the political division between lowland and highland Burma and monastic opposition to state control, the author explains the forces that have made the country what it is today.
