Burma and General Ne Win
This is a book on contemporary Burma, a vivid and interesting account based on material from Burmese sources and on the author's own rich experience. It is not a formal history; it just looks back and reminisces.
In her more than two decades of freedom, Burma has come through much trial and tribulation, and General Ne Win, who once again leads the country, has been an important figure in her history for even more than that length of time. Gen. Ne Win constantly says: "Let us forget and forgive what was bitter in the past, for we cannot build on bitterness. Let us work together, build national unity, and march together again to our goals." That has consistently expressed the spirit in which he has served.
The same spirit permeates the pages of this book which gathers the interesting and revealing moments in General Ne Win's career and highlights the facts and intimacies rather in the manner of a biography. As the author modestly states, the book "is simply served up as an aid to memory, to help us remember the past few decades of Burma's political life through some of the main events and some of the people who played their parts in those events.
By remembering and reviewing that past we may perhaps get a firmer feeling of roots, a better sense of history and a clearer perspective of the present.
We may even learn a little from the past, for though we may think that we are very wise, we have yet to find total wisdom or the whole truth or all the sure answers to all the sore problems which have confronted the society of man since its beginning. Learning from the past may give us humility and help us grow big."
