Perfect hostage: a life of Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s prisoner of conscience
Justin Wintle (Skyhorse Publishing), has written a timely and important new book. The book’s subject, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been under house arrest since 1990, when Burma’s brutal military junta deemed her political ambitions a threat to their power. Despite imprisonment, failing health, and vilification at the hands of the Burmese media, Suu Kyi has persevered in an ongoing campaign of nonviolent protest and become an international icon for the peaceful pursuit of justice. Wintle’s beautifully crafted narrative offers the most thorough biography of Suu Kyi to date, as well as a complete, up-to-date account of the violent suppression of 50,000 peaceful demonstrators in September 2007.
The book will be available from March 2008 in bookstores everywhere.
