I only found out today about this from U Kyaw Win.
It's
very well written, from the sample, and has an even tone, to my mind
neither self-satisfied nor unduly spiteful, though the pain is evident.
I've
known U Kyaw Win in the Overseas Democracy Movement since 1997 when I
was in Boulder CO for the Conference on International Affairs, when I
interviewed him for Radio Free Asia.
On the surface, he comes across as rather brusque, even rude at times, confrontational.
But this is a well-written book, full of detail and emotion. Written in a very accessible manner, with great honesty.
As there aren't many good books on Burma, I thought I'd recommend this book, even though I have not read the whole of it yet.
Part of being in The Movement was meeting many committed activists like U Kyaw Win.
