I can certainly recommend the book which I have on Kindle. It set the scene for me and it was eye-opening to understand how far the country has come in such a short time and to see some of the places mentioned. The one thing that really resonated with me on our trip was to see a calendar with Aung San Suu Kyi's face on it and to realise that printing it never mind displaying a short time ago would have landed you in prison or worse
