Description
By Andrew Selth. Norwalk: Conn.: EastBridge, 2002. 371 pp. If Selth wrote this book in the mid-1970s when he was posted to the Australian Embassy in Rangoon (now Yangon) the sub-title might have been "Power with Glory". Much earlier, in the early 1950s, during the first few years of Myanmar's independence, when the armed forces of the newly minted state fought successfully to turn the tide of the civil war against overwhelming odds, the sub-title could have been "Glory without Power".
