Book Review:
A Thoughtful Stroll Through Places Where Angels Fear to Tread by S. L. Gunasekara – a lawyer, former Crown Counsel, editor of 'Davasa' newspaper, government delegate to the Thimphu Talks, and fierce opponent of the Indo-Lanka Accord – offers an insider's analysis of separatist terrorism and Sri Lankan politics. The author was the authorised representative of Sirimavo Bandaranaike (1988 presidential election), an SLFP national list MP (1989), and founder president of Sihala Urumaya. A prolific writer on terrorism, he has authored six books on the subject. Essential reading for those interested in Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict, devolution debates, and nationalist politics.
