Summary

In 2011, Myanmar embarked on a transition from brutal military rule to free democracy. The transition culminated four years later, when the first legitimate election in decades saw a landslide for the party of celebrated Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Yet, even as the international community was celebrating a new dawn, old wars were raging in the northern borderlands. A crisis was emerging in western Arakan state, where the regime intensified its oppression of the vulnerable Muslim Rohingya community. This book is a first-hand account of the complex, bloody history of Myanmar and the origins of the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingyas.
