Crime does not pay, and politics by assassination pays even less.
That is perhaps the one sharp lesson which stands out from the
trial of U Saw and his men for the murder of Bogyoke Aung San and
his colleagues. The trial is a historie one, and the murders
undoubtedly altered the course of Burma' s modem history. I present
the judgement of the Special Tribunal in full and the story of the
assassinations for the record, in the hope that they will serve
historians and our peoples in Burma in several ways. Mr. ]ustice
Mya Thein of the High Court gave me the records which he compiled
of the trial while serving on the prosecution. That was a few years
ago, and I have, since then, wanted to edit and publish a book of
the trial. Dr. Myint Thein, Chief ]ustice of the Union, also gave
his file of the records to the Defence Services Historical Research
Institute, and I was able to check and compare the papers. To both
I owe and sincerely acknow ledge thanks. I am also grateful to Mr.
]ustice Aung Tha Gyaw of the Supreme Court who answered my
questions with kindness and courtesy, and to U Kyaw Soe, Director
of Information, and his staff, who dug up the pictures which are
published in this book.
