Abstract

"Return of the junta: why Myanmar's military must go back to the barracks" by Oliver Slow is a comprehensive analysis of Myanmar's political upheaval following the 2021 military coup. Slow draws on personal accounts and historical analysis to highlight the role of the Tatmadaw, Myanmar's military, in perpetuating the country's suffering. The book explores various issues, including the military's control over education, its exacerbation of ethnonationalist conflicts, the Rohingya genocide, and exploitative natural resource industries. Slow argues that the military's dominance and impunity have hindered democratization and justice in Myanmar. The book provides valuable insights for both experts and general readers interested in Myanmar's future. [Extracted from the article]
