Blood and silk : power and conflict in modern Southeast Asia
Vatikiotis, Michael R. J., 1957-2018
Books
Thought-provoking and eye-opening, this book is an accessible, personal look at modern Southeast Asia, written by one of the region's most experienced outside observers. It is a first-hand account of what it's like to sit at the table with deadly Thai Muslim insurgents, mediate between warring clans in the Southern Philippines and console the victims of political violence in Indonesia - all in an effort to negotiate peace, and understand the reasons behind endemic violence. Peering beyond brand new shopping malls and shiny glass towers in Bangkok and Jakarta, Michael Vatikiotis probes the heart of modern Southeast Asia.
