Description

Thailand stands at a defining moment in its history, struggling to emerge from a despotic past and convulsed by an intractable conflict that will determine its future. Scores have been killed on the streets of Bangkok, freedom of speech is routinely denied, and democracy appears increasingly distant. The death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej has sparked concerns about the stability of the country, but this crisis has never been comprehensively analysed - until now. Andrew MacGregor Marshall breaks down the complex issues surrounding Thailand's struggle for democracy, revealing the unacknowledged succession conflict that has become entangled with the struggle for freedom. Marshall provides a comprehensive explanation of the crisis, making sense of the turmoil and uncertainty that grips the nation.
