Where China Meets India: Burma and the New Crossroads of Asia by Thant Myint-U (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780571239634)

From their very beginnings, the civilizations of China and India have been walled off from each other, not only by the towering summits of the Himalayas, but also by the vast and impenetrable jungle, hostile tribes, and remote inland kingdoms. This title gives us an account of the region's long and rich history and its significance.

Part travelogue, part history, part investigation, "Where China Meets India" takes us across the fast-changing Asian frontier, giving us a masterful account of the region's long and rich history and its sudden significance for the rest of the world.
