Rangoon Journalist

About the Book: Rangoon JournalistOpening with his first impressions of the Burma that greeted him in 1940 when he arrived mostly on foot, Ceylonese journalist J. F. Samaranayake recounts an accidental 18-year-long overstay in Rangoon that had him enmeshed in the backbiting Burmese newspaper circles of the day. On December 30, 1958, alone, unheralded, unlamented, and unsung, he departed Mingaladon Airport leaving behind Burmese General Ne Win'¬"s military administration that was then in full swing and going forth to other adventures that awaited him outside the reaches of Rangoon.
