Seems like a good introduction,

This review is from: A History of Modern Burma (Paperback)
I hesitated to review this book as I do not feel qualified to judge its contents completely. However, having just read a second book with a similar focus (Steinberg's "Burma/Myanmar, what everyone needs to know") and seeing that the only other review was quite critical I decided to voice my opinion. Speaking as a non-expert I found this book quite good and would rate it with four or five stars. The author is a respected scholar and the publisher is a respected press. The writing is clear and easy to understand although it is dry and academic in style. (Some of us don't mind that at all.) It touches on many things in the colonial and post-colonial era and was quite informative in many ways. It cites sources well allowing one to confirm statements easily. I recommend it highly.
