Book Description
It begins with the bloodied scene of a Burmese army base being overrun by the Kachin rebels and it ends with a painful suicide. In between, the over 350 pages long book vividly portrays the almost forgotten suffering of the people of Burma still under a brutal military dictatorship. The fictional story is largely based on, first, the author's childhood growing up as a boy cadet in a military boarding school run by Burmese Army, and later, his over a year stint as a boy soldier in a battalion of Burmese Northern Army in Kachin State. Most of the facts and events from the book are either based on the direct experiences of the author or the experiences of other soldiers from his battalion, then fighting a savage war against Kachin Independence Army, KIA, by the Chinese border, in the early seventies. Read this book. It will leave an unforgettable and sorrowful image of war-torn Burma in your mind .

Book Description
In this groundbreaking work of cultural history, Alice Fahs explores a little-known and fascinating side of the Civil War--the outpouring of popular literature inspired by the conflict. From 1861 to 1865, authors and publishers in both the North and the South produced a remarkable variety of war-related compositions, including poems, songs, children's stories, romances, novels, histories, and even humorous pieces. Fahs mines these rich but long-neglected resources to recover the diversity of the war's political and social meanings. Instead of narrowly portraying the Civil War as a clash between two great, white armies, popular literature offered a wide range of representations of the conflict and helped shape new modes of imagining the relationships of diverse individuals to the nation. Works that explored the war's devastating impact on white women's lives, for example, proclaimed the importance of their experiences on the home front, while popular writings that celebrated black manhood and heroism in the wake of emancipation helped readers begin to envision new roles for blacks in American life. Recovering a lost world of popular literature, The Imagined Civil War adds immeasurably to our understanding of American life and letters at a pivotal point in our history.
