Description:
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2004. When the author assumed a two year lecturing position in English language at a college in Mandalay in 1986, little did he realize that he was to witness the lead-up to one the most brutal political crackdowns in recent southeast Asian history. His highly personal account of life in Burma, the growth of unrest, the onset of massive pro-democracy rallies, and their ultimate failure after violent military suppression in 1988 is presented in heart-wrenching clarity. An appendix provides a translation of Mandalay students' records of the Sagiang Massacre, in August, 1988. ' . . offers the first detailed account in English-complete with map and photographs-of the . . Sagaing massacre of 9 August 1988, in which 218 people were gunned down by the police and local army units.' Bertil Lintner, Far Eastern Economic Review. viii, 193 pp., 20 colour and 4 b&w plates, map, bibliography. Second edition. Soft Cover. New. 21.5 x 15.5 cm.
