Opis

Come with me to Burma of pagodas and forests, to 1853 where the Second Anglo-Burmese war has just ended. A couple of Mormon missionaries end up in the heart of the conflict zone hosted by a recent convert, Matthew McCune. Taken from primary sources, this unique history intertwines the trauma of Burmese who've lost their sacred Shwedagon pagoda, Mormons, who've experienced the loss of their own temple and being driven from their lands, and a mid-ranking British magazine sergeant trying to make the best of the situation.
