Mars' review of my novella Black Rice on Amazon site

mars - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Rice: A Novella (Paperback)

A quick read regarding the Burmese struggle to rid themselves of Japanese occupation and the brutal infighting that resulted after their departure. Many sensorial images told through the eyes of a soldier bring Burma to life. History buffs may want more. This story is just a taste of the terror suffered by the Burmese in the 1940's..
