Burma: The Next Vietnam

Michael Backman

Chapter 17 in Asia Future Shock, 2008, pp 118-124 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Burma has a population of around 53 million people. That astounds many people. It is a lot of people to be locked away from the rest of the world by economic sanctions that the US and its allies impose on the country to get at its military government. (Compare Burma’s population with Cuba’s at 11 million or North Korea’s at 23 million.)
