Living Martyrs didn't die in vain,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living Martyrs: Individuals and Revolution in Nepal (Paperback)
This was an an in depth study of the topic. It was quite descriptive, supporting views with many revealing interviews. The fact that the book was coauthored by native Nepalis lends credence to the arguments presented by Fisher.
