A very important book because it draws attention to an important cause that the major media ignores. There are, of course, no oil wells in Burma, so we don't need to start a war with the military force there ruling with oppressive force, and keeping its rightful ruler, Aung San Suu Kyi, jailed and under house arrest for many decades.
