"Rebel Politics is underpinned by years of extraordinary fieldwork,
including unprecedented access to the leaders of some of Myanmar's
ethnic-minority rebel groups. It is a pathbreaking book, essential
reading not only for Myanmar-watchers but also anyone interested in
insurgencies and state formation."
*Lee Jones, Queen Mary University of London, author of Societies
Under Siege*
