Thailand, a place promoted as one of the finer Asian tourist attractions, has its own problems. "Conspiracy of Silence: The Insurgency in Southern Thailand" discusses a modern problem that many Thai face in their society today--southern insurgents are trying to tear the country in two through a violent secessionist movement. Exploring the roots of the conflict, what's going on in the present time, the religious conflicts, and the errors the Thai government has made, "Conspiracy of Silence" is a complete and comprehensive discussion of this serious issue in modern Thailand.
