Maps, black and white photographic illustrations, 309pp, appendix, notes, index, paperback. Narrated by the eldest daughter of Sao Shwe Thaike, the Prince of Yawnghwe, this book recounts both the story of her early life and at the same time provides a fascinating memoir of her father who, in 1948, became first President of the Union of Burma after the country gained its independence. She describes growing up in the Shan States and records the changes that occurred during the periods of British colonial rule, war and Japanese occupation, the return of the British administration, the troubled years after Burma's Independence and, finally the military takeover in 1962.
