Blood and Silk

Sachbuch von Michael Vatikiotis

Peering beyond brand new shopping malls and shiny glass towers in Bangkok and Jakarta, Michael Vatikiotis probes the heart of modern Southeast Asia. Why are the region’s richest countries such as Malaysia riddled with corruption? Why do Myanmar, Thailand and the Philippines harbour unresolved violent insurgencies? How do deepening religious divisions in Indonesia and Malaysia and China’s growing influence affect the region and the rest of the world?

Michael Vatikiotis ist ein Autor, Journalist und Privat-Diplomat, der seit 1987 im südöstlichen Asien lebt. „Vatikiotis has an eye for quirky detail, whether it be the Thai crown prince’s pet poodle commissioned as an air force officer and dressed in uniform, or the self-important Muslim separatist from southern Thailand who prayed with Osama bin Laden in Khartoum but found the terrorist mastermind uninspiring and unimpressive.In the end, though, the outlook is menacing.“ (VICTOR MALLET, FINANCIAL TIMES) (7 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 368 Seiten noch günstig?
