In this episode we speak to Clare Hammond, author of the new book published by Allen Lane: On the Shadow Tracks: A Journey Through Occupied Myanmar. Clare travelled by train around most of Myanmar before the 2021 military coup, from the southern coast to the northern mountains, and tells stories of colonial legacies, forced labour, villages torn apart by railway construction, and forgotten dreams of railways that could have changed the nation. If you love train travel and train books, this is an absolute winner!

Clare will be speaking about her book in Thailand at the FCCT in Bangkok on July 31 and at Greenhouse in Chiang Mai on August 1. Don't miss out on seeing the author in person.
