Description

Bertil Lintner’s “Burma in Decline” (or relevant book title if known) offers a detailed history of Burma’s tragic transformation from a vibrant 1948 democracy to a military dictatorship and one of the world’s poorest countries by 1998. The book explores the critical link between Burma’s massive drug production and its enduring insurgency, explaining the persistence of military rule. Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Lintner provides a lively account of key events and figures, from Aung San’s 1947 murder through decades of political intrigue involving the government, ethnic groups, and international actors. This revised edition includes valuable appendices for in-depth study.
