Books About Myanmar

I finally get to talk about something that I love, which is books! My friend and I sat down to discuss some of the books we've read so far about Myanmar. In addition to books, we also briefly mentioned two films that are about Myanmar. I highly recommend you to check it out!

Content Warning: Both films include graphic scenes and images that might be disturbing for some audiences. Some books also contain graphic details of mutilation, rape, torture and violence.
