Book on coup banned


Fidel

Recommended Posts

The book "A Coup for the Rich" has been banned in Thailand.

 

Apparently, the problem is that it creates a "misunderstanding about the monarchy amongst Thais"

I've started reading it, having found a link to a free download on wikipedia. SInce the book is banned in Thailand, I will not post a link to it here. Instead, go to wikipedia and search for the "2006 Thai coup d'état" page. Then do a search for the word "rich". You'll find a direct link there.

 

 

 

It is WELL WORTH A READ.

p.p.s. Dr Giles is a bit of a prat who loves to irritate people. (After all, he is half-English!) Nevertheless, I hardly think the lese majeste charge is appropriate. Interesting that it says it is distributed by the Chulalongkorn Book Shop, since the newspaper says Thammasat is the only one that sold it.
