Perfect Hostage: A Life of Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s Prisoner of Conscience

Description

Aung San Suu Kyi is an inspirational, nonviolent revolutionary leader in Myanmar (Burma), considered the nation’s hope for freedom. Despite enduring house arrest since 1989, failing health, vilification, and cruel imprisonment by the military regime, she steadfastly championed peaceful resistance, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. Justin Wintle’s biography, “Perfect Hostage,” tells both her story and that of the Burmese people.
