Book Synopsis
Following a 1932 coup d'état in Thailand that established a constitution, the Thai state that emerged has suppressed political dissent. In Plain Sight shows how abuses, both hidden and occurring in public view, have become institutionalized through a chronic failure to hold perpetrators accountable.

Trade Review
Haberkorn’s book is an important contribution to the body of knowledge on this subject and with its incredible richness in detail and analysis, it will for a long time be a standard reference for everyone writing on human rights in Thailand."" - Asia in Focus

""Required reading for anyone who wants to understand modern Thailand. Haberkorn reveals a state where political violence is normalized as it has established and maintained a narrow royalist and elitist regime."" - Kevin Hewison, editor of Political Change in Thailand

""Powerfully uncovers and documents many episodes of state intimidation and violence in postwar Thailand. Haberkorn deftly probes the nature and domestic actions of the Thai state and holds it accountable for its own history."" - Ben Kiernan, author of The Pol Pot Regime and Viet Nam
