Soo Thah: A Tale of the Making of the Karen Nation is a historical fiction novel written by Alonzo Bunker and published in 1902. The story is set in the late 1800s in Burma and follows the life of Soo Thah, a Karen man who becomes a Christian missionary and plays a key role in the formation of the Karen nation.
