A LAND WITHOUT EVIL: NEW BOOK ON BURMA TO BE PUBLISHED

A Land Without Evil: Stopping the Genocide of the Burma's Karen People by
Benedict Rogers will be published in March 2004.

According to the source, the book tells the history of the Karen people but is focused on the suffering of all the people of Burma.

The author, Benedict Rogers who is a journalist and human rights campaigner,
currently working for Christian Solidarity Worldwide in Washington, DC, aims to draw attention to the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Burma today. It is not intended to be a scholarly, anthropological book, but more a call to action.

The book, contains about 254 pages with photographs, includes chapters on
the democracy movement of 1988, the Free Burma Rangers, the Internally
Displaced People and refugees, and the armed resistance. It contains inspiring stories of courage, faith and dignity, alongside stories of suffering.

Dr. David Aikman, former senior correspondent of TIME in his review said,
"Benedict Rogers has written a moving and detailed account of the tragedy of
the oppressed Karen people of Burma. He brings to life one of the most under-reported examples of ethnic repression in modern times. A LAND WITHOUT EVIL should be read by every responsible citizen of those nations claiming to espouse the principles of global justice."
