  1. Shreyas Jha –

    I found the book to be a bit slow and tedious. It’s well-researched but lacked the storytelling aspect to make it enjoyable to read.

  2. Vivek –

    A fascinating exploration of a dark period in Burmese history. The author clearly demonstrates the link between politics and environmental degradation.

  3. Sai Srinivas Chinnam –

    A detailed look at a forgotten chapter of colonial history. The ecological impact is well-researched, but the writing can be a bit dry at times. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  4. Harsh Sharma –

    An important book that highlights the devastating impact of colonialism on Burma’s environment. It’s a bit dense, but worth the effort.

  5. Sameer Raosaheb Patil –

    Keeton sheds light on the environmental consequences of colonial competition in Burma. It’s a vital perspective, though I wish the narrative was more engaging.

  6. Priya Tiwari –

    A great, insightful read into the history of the ecological disaster of Burma due to colonialism. Very well researched.

  7. Yatharth Bhardwaj Bhardwaj –

    This book offers a compelling analysis of the political and environmental issues in Burma during King Thebaw’s reign. Highly recommended for history buffs.

  8. Divyanshu Abhishek –

    The book was incredibly eye-opening, detailing the extent of environmental damage in Burma during King Thebaw’s era. It’s dense, but the information is crucial.

  9. Ayush Singh –

    Eye-opening account of ecological destruction under colonial rule. Sometimes dense, but the information is invaluable. A must-read for environmental history enthusiasts.

  10. Somveer –

    While informative, the book could benefit from a more accessible writing style. The topic is important, but the presentation is a bit academic.

  11. Vivekanand Pandey –

    Good historical account, but gets bogged down in details. It is hard to follow if you do not know anything about the history of Burma.

  12. Rajat Srivastava –

    The book provided great insight into how colonialism not only affected the local population but also had a devastating impact on the environment.
