Farrar, Straus and Giroux claimed What do we really know about Burma and its history? And what can Burma´s past tell us about its present and even its future?

Through his prominent family´s stories and those of others, he portrays Burma´s rise and decline in the modern world, from the time of Portuguese pirates and renegade Mughal princes through a sixty-year civil war that continues today--the longest-running war anywhere in the world.The River of Lost Footsteps is a work at once personal and global, a ´brisk, vivid history´ (Philip Delves Broughton, The Wall Street Journal) that makes Burma accessible and enthralling.
