Review of Sri Lanka: Witness to History

Sangam.org - Ilankai Tamil Sangam, USA, Inc. by Brian Senewiratne. Australia: "As I wrote in the Foreword to his earlier book, The Pen and the Gun (published in 2001), "Siva is an expert with the pen and has used this God-given gift with courage, determination and at tremendous cost to himself and his family for nearly two decades." It should have read "five decades" since it was in 1953 that he started his career in journalism.

The book is published by Sivayogam 180-186 Upper Tooting Road, London SW 17 7EJ, and distributed in the UK and Europe by Jasmine Studio, 45B Crusoe Rd, Mitcham,Surrey,CR4 3LJ, and in the USA and Canada by World NT, 36 Carisbrooke Sq, Toronto, ON M1B4M4, Canada, and in Sri Lanka by Vijitha Yapa Bookshop 130, S de Jayasinghe Mawatha, Nugegoda. Amazingly, there is no distributor (yet) in Australia but I guess if you contact me (briansen@bigpond.net.au ) I will get you a copy. It is the least I can do for the man and his mission.
