Summary: American journalist Emma Larkin has been travelling to Burma and secretly reporting on the country for over 15 years. In her new book, 'Everything is Broken', Larkin, who writes under a pseudonym, focuses on Burma's history of the last few years, following a devastating tropical cyclone that hit in 2008. Astonishingly, the country's regime not only blocked all international aid from entering the area but provided little relief themselves. 'Everything is Broken' not only exposes the extent of the damage, but provides a singular portrait of the generals responsible for compounding the tragedy.
