About This Book

A senior administrator gives a first-hand account of restoring order after the annexation, describing military suppression of sporadic resistance and the subsequent work of civil government to secure peace. The narrative covers disarmament, the creation and expansion of police forces, and measures against dacoits and unruly local chiefs, alongside reorganization of revenue, justice, and public works. Campaigns and interactions in hill and frontier areas among Shan, Karenni, Chin, and Kachin communities are described, with attention to coordination between military and civil authorities. The book is illustrated with maps and photographs and combines operational detail with reflections on administrative policy and local cooperation.
