This pictorial book on the Irrawaddy River traces the river which flows through the heart of Myanmar. Unlike other great rivers that are shared by several countries, the Irrawaddy belongs entirely to Myanmar; the identities of few other nations and rivers are so closely intertwined. Irrawaddy: Benevolent River of Burma traces the course of the great river, and through it the history and culture of the people who live along its banks.
