Down The Rat Hole: Adventures Underground on the Burma Frontier by Edith Mirante 2005. 192 pp., 3 colour plates, 3 maps, 21.5 x 15 cm., softcover. ISBN-10: 974-524-050-8 $21.00 ISBN-13: 978-974-524-050-6 A new memoir of the author’s journeys among the brave indigenous peoples of some of Asia’s most remote and violent regions. Knowledgeably obsessed with Burma’s struggle for freedom, American artist/activist Mirante breaks laws and infiltrates borders, in impassioned journeys of discovery that take her through China, India, Laos, and chaotic Bangladesh. Down the Rat Hole is a wild and exotic headlong plunge into a hidden world of guerrilla warfare, heroin and jade trading, the AIDS pandemic, rainforest destruction, strikes and rioting, and one of the worst natural disasters of the 20th Century.
