Myanmar – Is Peace Only a Reverie?
The case for peace in Myanmar (Burma) has been a tiring, relentless one. The biggest myth of all is that Burma was set to have a bright future during the dawn of its independence from the British, and Thant Myint-U, in “The Hidden History of Burma”, reminds us that the reality is far more complex and heavy.Continue reading “Myanmar – Is Peace Only a Reverie?”
