River of Lost Footsteps

Burma is ruled by a harsh dictatorship unmoved by Western activists and sanctions. Drawing on his own family's stories and his years of hands-on political experience working with the UN, the author has written an illuminating account of how Burma's rich past informs its violent present, and of how the world might transform the country's future.
