* Format (such as paperback, hardcover, ebook, audiobook, etc): Paperback
* Description: In the ever-shifting landscape of Sri Lankan political history, few periods stand as pivotally transformative as the years between 1994 and 2005. This volume brings together first-hand accounts, analytical reflections, and carefully curated data from individuals who worked closely with President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga during her tenure.
Rather than offering a celebratory retrospective, this collection is presented as a living archive—an attempt to preserve political memory, institutional knowledge, and policy evolution in a moment where historical clarity often blurs into myth. The contributors draw from personal encounters and public service, offering insights that are intimate, measured, and often sharply instructive.
As source material for future researchers, we hope this compilation offers more than just a snapshot of a presidency—it aspires to be a lens into a nation’s attempts at reform, resilience, and renewal. In a region often marked by erasure and selective remembrance, this work seeks to anchor fact, nuance, and complexity for those who continue the task of telling Sri Lanka’s story.

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
