Secrets and Power in Myanmar: Intelligence and the Fall of General Khin Nyunt
By Andrew Selth
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars
()
About this ebook
This work on the more recent aspects of the country’s intelligence apparatus goes beyond a masterful and comprehensive analysis of the Burmese intelligence community, and probes the social and institutional bases of the attitudes giving rise to that critical aspect of power. We are once again in Dr Selth’s debt. This is required reading for serious observers of the Burmese scene.
