"This is an unpretentious book, but it brings out with unusual
clearness the dilemma that faces every official in an empire like
our own." George Orwell TRIALS IN BURMA recounts Maurice Collis'
experiences as a district magistrate in Rangoon in the late 1920s.
The book recounts his gradual realisation that far from
administering an impartial system of justice, he is expected to
protect British interests. Wriiten in a cool dispassionate style,
Collis describes how - be choosing integrity over career, he
eventually loses his job. "A brilliant, direct and extraordinarily
vivid account of this troubled period...a masterly survey of the
Burmese scene." Daily Mail
