This is a riveting history of the Burmese people's struggle for independence from colonialism and freedom under a repressive junta. The author records the struggle for independence and democracy in Burma from the final fall of the monarchy to the early years of the 21st century. The author's research is deep and thorough. Many years were spent in the British Library Indian and Oriental Collection in London collecting and collating valuable material concerning the British colonial period and its response to nationalist protest and a strengthening independence movement. Postcolonial material is equally well researched and complemented by extensive interviews in Burma itself, as well as among exiles and scholars in Thailand and Australia. The account is at times a harrowing one, underscoring the repeatedly dashed hopes for freedom, and the confusion and contradictions amongst Burmese themselves as to the right path to be followed to achieve true independence. In the Epilogue, the author examines the years from 2000 to the present day. Regrettably, little has changed: for Burma democracy seems as far away as ever.

A fast and bloody black comedy that sheds light on four of the most ignored figures in English history – the knights who actually had to kill Thomas Becket. The four young knights who have just assassinated Thomas Becket take refuge in Knaresborough castle, hoping that the heat will die down. But they're in for a long, hard wait. A severed ear, archaic dentistry and a string of unrequited passions are just a few of the things in store for them in this anarchic historical drama. Paul Webb's play Four Knights in Knaresborough was first performed at the Tricycle Theatre, London, in 1999.
