Karenni: The Forgotten War of a Nation Under Siege

By Dean Chapman

Burmese forces invaded the Karenni State on 8 August, 1948, and eventually annexed the independent sovereign nation. For the last fifty years the Karenni have been waging a war of resistance against successive Rangoon Governments, whose attempts to subdue the population include military occupation, mass relocation of civilians and human rights abuse. Photojournalist Dean Chapman, who lived with the Karenni people and army for two years, juxtaposes front line combat with daily life in this powerful book that won the 1998 European Publishers Award for Photography.
