This review is from: Land of Jade. A Journey from India through Northern Burma to China (Hardcover)
When Bertil Lintner and his wife, Hseng Noung, set out to visit the Kachins in Upper Burma, little did they know that the journey would take 18 months and involve walking from India to China. But they did it and this book is the result. It's a fascinating description of a part of the world cut off from the outside for over 30 years. The Lintner's spent most of their time with various rebel groups, and this account delves deeply into both the politics and culture of this little-known land.

This a great book combining fascinating insights into politics, history and the day to day lives of people living in the borderlands as well as being a riveting account of travelling in the area combining adventure and danger at every turn.
