The definitive biography of Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's pro-democracy leader
Peter Popham has toured Burma as an undercover journalist many times since his first visit to the country in 1991. A foreign correspondent and commentator with the Independent newspaper, he covered South Asia (including Burma) for a period in the late 90s. Popham interviewed Suu Kyi when she was released from house arrest in 2002, and has met her again several times. He lives in London.
The most comprehensive, accessible, honest and fair biography of
Aung San Suu Kyi to date, blowing away all previous efforts.
