Buddhism, Imperialism and War
Details
Buddhism, Imperialism and War (1979) examines Burma and Thailand, both Buddhist nations, and explores their approach to war and conflict - a complex issue, considering the religion's adherence to peace between individuals and social groups.
Buddhism, Imperialism and War (1979) is a lively, provocative and informative study of two of the most important Buddhist countries of South East Asia - Burma and Thailand. Buddhism gives, in theory, a high place to the maintenance of peace, both between individuals and between social groups. In practice however, Buddhist nations are no strangers to the battlefield. This book explores the complexity surrounding the issue, and reveals much for the first time that has been obscure and misunderstood.
