Synopsis

This is an account of the author's journeys among the brave indigenous peoples of some of Asia's most remote and violent regions. Erudite and obsessed with Burma's struggle for freedom, American artist/activist Mirante breaks laws and infiltrates borders on 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.
