In this episode we speak to Clare Hammond, author of the
new book published by Allen Lane: On the Shadow Tracks: A
Journey Through Occupied Myanmar. Clare travelled by train
around most of Myanmar before the 2021 military coup, from the
southern coast to the northern mountains, and tells stories of
colonial legacies, forced labour, villages torn apart by railway
construction, and forgotten dreams of railways that could have
changed the nation. If you love train travel and train books, this
is an absolute winner!
Clare will be speaking about her book in Thailand at the FCCT in Bangkok on July 31 and at Greenhouse in Chiang Mai on August 1. Don't miss out on seeing the author in person.
