Burma Communist Party's Conspiracy to Take Over State Power (1989). Crap book. No front cover except for title. No publishing matter. Paper quality awful. A print of the statement made by Gen Khin Nyunt at a press conference on how communist elements infiltrated NLD and caused the 88 revolution.

If We Really Desire Peaceful Transition and National Reconsolidation and other Articles (2004) are fawning articles from Kyemon and GNLM on how the Tatmadaw rebuilt the nation after 1988 into a peaceful and prosperous country. Again, needs updating!

Whither KNU (1995) is a collected series of 33 articles published in the government dailies. Pro-junta overview of the KNU, its origins and decline in the mid 1990's with the usual lies and half truths. Given KNU gains over the last couple of years, they might need to rethink that title.

Demands for Dialogue not Solution to Myanmar Democracy Dispute (2006) is a companion book to the one above, this time with articles hailing the great progress Myanmar has made under the USDP and how the nation shouldn't listen to the 'trickster neo-colonialists'

Will Tell All That is True, Barring None … (2002) is a collection of chest-thumping articles from Gov. owned dailies NLOM and Kyemon, mostly dealing with the 'craftiness' and 'tricky ways' of Thailand.
