On the Shadow Tracks : A Journey through Occupied Myanmar Hardback...
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
On the Shadow Tracks harnesses the railway lines of Myanmars complicated past to its turbulent present, and the result is part travelogue, part history and completely absorbing. An astonishing achievementJoanna LumleyIn 2016, while working as a journalist in Yangon, Clare Hammond discovered an obscure map that showed a web of new railways spanning the length and breadth of the country railways not shown on any other publicly available maps. She was determined to uncover the railways origins, purpose, and most of all, the silence that surrounded them. She would spend three months travelling on these mysterious railways, and the next five years piecing their story together.Her journey would take her from Myanmars tropical south to the embattled mountain towns that border India and China. In dilapidated carriages, along tracks in disrepair, through contested ethnic states and former sites of forced labour, visiting temples, tea shops and festivals, Clare encountered a colourful and contradictory Myanmar through the stories of its people. Simultaneously a lush and evocative travelogue, an unsparing account of Myanmars recent history, and an astonishing, conversationshifting engagement with Britains colonial legacy, On the Shadow Tracks is that rare and necessary thing a book that finds and tells the truth.
