Kingdom's Edge Book Review: The Irrawaddy By Bertil Lintner
Really very grateful for this flattering review by Bertil Lintner of my new book Kingdom's Edge in The Irrawaddy.
Burma is not the only Southeast Asian country that has been wrecked by violent, long-standing ethnic insurgencies. For several decades, groups of Malays in Thailand’s predominantly Muslim southernmost provinces Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat have been fighting against the central government for local autonomy or independence from Bangkok. And, when Thaksin Shinawatra became prime minister in 2001 and dismissed the rebellion as “banditry” and adopted a hardline approach to the problem, the simmering, jungle-based rebellion turned into urban guerrilla warfare that since then has claimed at least 6,500 lives and caused nearly 12,000 injuries.
