Land of Jade by Bertil LintnerA Journey from India through Northern Burma to China
A classic on recent Burmese history. Bertil and Hseng Noung Lintner spent one and a half years travelling through northern and eastern Burma in 1985-1987 describing with care and deep insight the struggle by the Kachin and Shan ethnic groups against Burmese army rule, and recording the decline and fall of the CPB - the Communist Party of Burma.
During their 2,275 kilometre trek, at times in great danger, they wrote the history of a 40-year forgotten war, a history which would otherwise never be committed to paper in such rich detail. Their daughter Hseng Tai was born in Nagaland in India at the inception of the journey. The 1995 edition is updated, and contains a wealth of new photographic material as well as detailed maps and plans.
