  Book's Description

Betrayed by the British, the Karen of Burma have been locked in a titanic, sixty-year struggle for survival against the Burmese military regime, their story ignored by the rest of the world. Journalist Phil Thornton spent five years on the Thai-Burma border, crossing illegally into the Karen State scores of times to find the families. freedom fighters, and medics, resisting the regime.

Restless Souls is a tragic, sometimes amusing journey though the war zone and the underbelly of the Thai border town of Mae Sot, where refugees, ‘mercenary’ adventurers, migrant workers, gem dealers, prostitutes, scavengers, rebel soldiers, corrupt officials, and drug dealers inhabit the shadows.
