Published by ANU Press, the book provides the first ‘on the ground’ account of the sweeping change carried out by a reform-minded faction within the country’s long-ruling military – adjustments that commenced in 1999 with modest experiments, and which eventually led to historic elections in November 2015.
Throughout the book Wilson, who served as Australia’s ambassador to Myanmar from 2000 to 2003 and who has been a close observer of the country ever since, provides his usual high-quality insight into what for too long has been a little-known and highly misunderstood nation.
