Description
Summary:General Ne Win's state reformation in the name of the "Burmese Way to Socialism" contributed to the expansion of the political role of the Myanmar Armed Forces, the tatmadaw - but the underlying dynamics of this change remain poorly understood. Drawing on propaganda publications, profiles of the country's political elites, and original documents in Burma's military archives, the author takes a fresh look at the involvement of the tatmadaw in Burma's ideological discourse and civil-military relations.
