Beskrivning
On the first day of February 2021, Myanmar’s military grabbed power in a coup d’etat, ending a decade of reforms that were supposed to break the shackles of military rule in Myanmar. Protests across the country were met with a brutal crackdown that shocked the world but were a familiar response from an institution that has ruled the country with violence and terror for decades.Return of the Junta is a detailed account of the ways that Myanmar’s military – the Tamatdaw - has maintained control over its people despite a decade of supposed reform. In this detailed account, drawing on first-hand accounts from activists, jouralists and politicians, Oliver Slow explores the measures the military has used to keep hold of power and the motivations of those now rising up against its rule. The book asks the question: what needs to be done to remove the military from power in Myanmar once and for all?

Recensioner i media

Since its February 2021 coup, Myanmar's military has waged brutal and unrelenting warfare on its own people in a desperate attempt to cow them into accepting the country's return to military rule. Journalist Oliver Slow, who spent years living in and reporting on the country, has produced a gem of a book that describes and explains not only the background to the coup itself but how this hated institution's mindset and approach developed over time. He covers not only the headline stories of atrocities and violence but also critically important issues such as the military's approach to education and identity politics. Return of the Junta is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the critical struggle now underway for Myanmar's future.
