The memory of a brief visit to Burma had haunted Rory MacLean for
years. A decade after the violent suppression of an unarmed
national uprising, which cost thousands of lives and all hopes for
democracy, he seized the chance to return. Travelling from Rangoon
to Mandalay and Pagan, into the heart of the Golden Triangle, he
hears stories of ordinary people struggling to survive under one of
the most brutal and repressive regimes in the world and meets Aung
San Suu Kyi, perhaps the most courageous woman of our time and the
embodiment of all Burma's hope. On his journey MacLean exposes the
tragedy of a hundred betrayals. "Under the Dragon" is a perceptive
and heartbreaking portrayal of contemporary Burma, a country that
is shot through with desperation and fear, but also blessed - even
in the darkest places - with beauty and courage.
