5.0 out of 5 stars
A first class book
No book about Burma's civil war quite rivals this for its detail and scope, nor has the author an equal for the depth of his research and his grasp of the war's ethnic complexities. It is an astonishing achievement.

It is a good research work for ethnic conflicts and politics
I met Martin Smith at Marnalplaw, KNU headquater near the Thai Burma border. He interviewed rebel leaders and obtained the information he wanted. I am an ethnic Karen people of Burma, so I understand his hard work. It is a very good book for historians, students and politicians to understand morer about Burma.

An objective analysis,
By A Customer
This review is from: Burma: Insurgency and the Politics of Ethnicity (Politics in contemporary Asia series) (Paperback)
This would be one of the few truly objective accounts of politics and ethnic insurgence in Myanmar/Burma. So many books on this country are biased by emotion and ambulance vehicles for the strong marketing of the democratic movement. This one stands out above all the latter. Having spent considerable time in Myanmar/Burma researching its modern history, I would have to say that Smith gives the most in depth, accurate and objective account. This book is a must for anyone who is interested in the political modern history of Burma/Myanmar.
