REVIEWS & INTERVIEWS Times Literary Supplement: “A well-written and accessible primer on how the Myanmar Army, or “Tatmadaw”, has established such a lock grip on power for so long.” Index on Censorship: “An accessible, informed read on the 2021 coup d’etat, and ultimately on this very complex country. While there are light moments, it is not a sugar-coated retelling.” Asian Review of Books: ”This eloquently-written book is a well-grounded overview of the most disruptive political force in Myanmar.” Frontier Myanmar: “This clear articulation of the ideological trappings of military rule is matched by Slow’s empathy in allowing Myanmar people to speak for themselves, whether to express hatred, fear or sadness about the military and its crimes.” Podcast interview with Asian Review of Books about Return of the Junta. An interview with The Diplomat about the mindset of the Myanmar military.
