He described the critical milestones achieved during the five years plus major situational crises the government faced amidst trying its very best. He also examined President U Thein Sein management style, which had much influence on the way the government is run and how it hindered actions sometimes.

Best of all, the book is a documentation of history of Myanmar during these critical five years. The actions taken during these years have undoubtedly altered the expectations and aspirations of Myanmar people and inevitably shaped the future of Myanmar for the better.
