O' Brien, Harriet

FORGOTTEN LAND: A REDISCOVERY OF BURMA

Although Burma is inaccessible to many foreign correspondents, Harriet O' Brien traveled from Rangoon to Mandalay, and from the privileged beach resorts of the military to the mountainous border with Thailand where guerrillas continue their forty-year struggle against government forces. The author, who spent much of her adolescence in Burma, on this return trip met with students, ethnic grops, rebels, and political activists, as well as with those in power, in order to assess the complex Burmese political and cultural situation.
