My novel Wolf follows a student leader of 1988, through his formative years and major political events.

Reading this you will see how 1962-1988 and beyond was bad, but how 2021 is much much worse.
Still I think recent events though horrible, prove that Burmese are essentially decent people who just wish to be free.
