520    "How did one of the world's "buzzy hotspots" (Fodor's 
       2013) become one of the top ten places to avoid (Fodor's 
       2018)? Less than a decade ago, the world cheered as a 
       dictatorship crumbled and internationally beloved Nobel 
       Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi emerged from twenty years of 
       house arrest. Yet just three years after her landslide 
       victory at the polls, the country stands accused of war 
       crimes and the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of 
       Rohingya Muslims. As an historian, former diplomat, and 
       presidential advisor, Thant Myint-U was part of the 
       momentous changes that pulled Burma toward democracy, 
       working with the ex-generals and meeting many of the 
       country's biggest supporters, from Bono to Barack Obama. 
       Yet no one was prepared to Burma's underlying challenges, 
       from fast- rising inequality, disintegrating state 
       institutions, and the impacts of climate change, to the 
       rise of China next door and the issues of race, religion, 
       and "national identity" deeply rooted in the country's 
       traumatic colonial past. In this riveting insider's 
       diagnosis of a country at a breaking point, Thant Myint-U 
       shows that Burma's perils, far from being unique, are many
       of the same facing all of us. Burma is a warning for the 
       world"--|cProvided by publisher.
