Abhisit's book bound to stir a red version
Play
At the Democrats' rally in Lumpini Park on the weekend, Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva released his book entitled "The Truth Without Colours". Not incidentally, his book launch coincides with the Book Expo Thailand 2012 this Thursday.
The book concerns his account of the military crackdown on red-shirt protesters in 2010 and the role of the “men in black”.
To counter this, I suspect Thaksin’s camp might launch a book entitled “The Real Truth Without Colours”. And the accusations and politicking between the two sides will continue business-as-usual.
On the bright side, this will promote more Thais to read – only the synopsis notwithstanding.
