Burma remains a land in deep crisis. The popular uprising of 1988
swept away 26 years of military rule under General Ne Win in name
only. The National League for Democracy of Aung San Suu Kyi won a
landslide victory in the 1990 election. But, as this book relates,
the military remained in control and the future of Burma looks more
problematic than ever. With unparalleled command of largely
inaccessible Burmese sources and interviews with many of the
leading participants, Martin Smith charts the rise of modern
political parties and unravels the complexities of the long-running
insurgencies waged by opposition groups, including the Communist
Party of Burma, the Karen National Union and a host of other ethnic
nationalist movements. In this revised and updated edition, the
author vividly explains how one of the most fertile and potentially
prosperous countries in Asia has collapsed to become one of the
world's poorest.
