In 1958, Marshal Sarit Thanarat became prime minister of Thailand following a bloodless coup.

From the supplier: Assia Djebar, 14th Laureate of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, continues to use her literary skills to expose the abuses of Algeria's leaders. Her courage and perseverance has emboldened the people to condemn the evils of tyranny and reintegrate into society those whom powerful figures in the political, secular and religious sectors wish to silence. Because of the threat posed by writers on the status quo, literature is usually stifled in despotic regions such as Algeria.
