The spine remains undamaged. A deeply reported account of life inside Burma in the months following the disastrous Cyclone Nargis and an analysis of the brutal totalitarian regime that clings to power in the devastated nation. On May 2, 2008, an enormous tropical cyclone made landfall in Burma, wreaki ng untold havoc and leaving an official toll of 138,300 dead and missing. I n the days that followed, the sheer scale of the disaster became apparent a s information began to seep out from the hard-hit delta area. But the Burme se regime, in an unfathomable decision of near-genocidal proportions, provi ded little relief to its suffering population and blocked international aid from entering the country. Hundreds of thousands of Burmese citizens lacke d food, drinking water, and basic shelter, but the xenophobic generals who rule the country refused emergency help. Emma Larkin, who has been traveling to and secretly reporting on Burma for years, managed to arrange for a tourist visa in those frenzied days and arr ived hoping to help. It was impossible for anyone to gauge just how much de vastation the cyclone had left in its wake; by all accounts, including the regime's, it was a catastrophe of epic proportions. In Everything Is Broken , Emma Larkin chronicles the chaotic days and months that followed the stor m, revealing the secretive politics of Burma's military dictatorship and th e bizarre combination of vicious military force, religion, and mysticism th at defined its unthinkable response to this horrific event., Penguin Press, 2010, 3<
