Book Reviews of The River of Lost Footsteps: A Personal History of Burma
Book Review: The Defacto MUST READ for any visitor to Burma
Summary: 5 Stars
Thoughtful, poignant and thorough, Thant does a terrific job of condensing a complicated history, through and until the 1970s. After that, you'll have to get another book for a more thorough background. I thought I'd be lost in the slew of Burmese names, but the book keeps the read enthralled enough to not get lost in the details.
