There's a pretty long "look inside" option, so you don't even need to buy the booklet.
The junta used to egg on the Arakanese against the Rohingya, but is now fighting the AA (Arakan Army).
This
handbook gives "all you need to know" about the Rohingya (a subset of
Burmese Muslims) having been there for literally ages, before there were
such things as national borders.
Nobel
Laureate A K Sen said at a conference at Columbia U that I helped
organize, "It's more true that the borders were drawn between them, than
that they came in (from Bangladesh) across the border."
Border lines began only in the 19th century.
The Rohingya have been there since the 8th-10th centuries.
This
booklet compiles how they came and their history in Burma--they came on
Arab dhows utilizing the monsoon winds. See also Michael Wood, The
Story of India.
