Publisher's Summary

First published in 1931 by The Adelphi, this essay describes the execution of a criminal during Orwell's time in Burma.

Britain ruled over Burma for 62 years (1824-86), during which three Anglo-Burmese Wars were fought and Britain incorporated it into its Indian Empire. Britain administered Burma as an Indian province until 1937, when it became a separate, self-governing colony. Burma declared independence in 1948.
