Than Shwe is one of the world's most brutal dictators, presiding
over a military regime that persists in repressing and brutalizing
its own people. Until now, his story has not been told. Than Shwe:
Unmasking Burma's Tyrant provides the firstever account of Than
Shwe's journey from postal clerk to dictator, analyzing his rise
through the ranks of the army, his training in psychological
warfare, his belief in astrology, his elimination of rivals, and
his ruthless suppression of dissent. Drawing on the insights of
Burma Army defectors, international diplomats, and others, Benedict
Rogers provides a compelling account of the reclusive and
xenophobic character of Than Shwe, and life in Burma under his
rule.
Benedict Rogers is a writer and human rights advocate
specializing in Burma who has written articles for the
International Herald Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Far Eastern
Economic Review, and The Guardian. He is the author of A Land
Without Evil: Stopping the Genocide of Burma's Karen People.
