NOW, THIS MAJOR NEW BIOGRAPHY OFFERS ESSENTIAL READING AT A MOMENT WHEN BURMA, AFTER DECADES OF STAGNATION, IS ONCE AGAIN IN FLUX. SUU KYI’S REMARKABLE LIFE BEGINS WITH THAT OF HER FATHER, AUNG SAN. THE ARCHITECT OF BURMA’S INDEPENDENCE, HE WAS ASSASSINATED WHEN SHE WAS ONLY TWO. SUU KYI GREW UP IN INDIA (WHERE HER MOTHER SERVED AS AMBASSADOR), STUDIED AT OXFORD, AND WORKED FOR THREE YEARS AT THE UN IN NEW YORK. IN 1972, SHE MARRIED MICHAEL ARIS, A BRITISH SCHOLAR. THEY HAD TWO SONS, AND FOR SEVERAL YEARS SHE LIVED AS A SELF-DESCRIBED “HOUSEWIFE”—BUT SHE NEVER FORGOT THAT SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF BURMA’S NATIONAL HERO. IN APRIL 1988, SUU KYI RETURNED TO BURMA TO NURSE HER SICK MOTHER. WITHIN SIX MONTHS, SHE WAS LEADING THE LARGEST POPULAR REVOLT IN THE COUNTRY’S HISTORY. SHE WAS PUT UNDER HOUSE ARREST BY THE REGIME, BUT HER PARTY WON A LANDSLIDE VICTORY IN THE 1990 ELECTIONS, WHICH THE REGIME REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE. IN 1991, STILL UNDER ARREST, SHE RECEIVED THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. ALTOGETHER, SHE HAS SPENT OVER FIFTEEN YEARS IN DETENTION AND NARROWLY ESCAPED ASSASSINATION TWICE. PETER POPHAM DISTILLS FIVE YEARS OF RESEARCH—INCLUDING COVERT TRIPS TO BURMA, MEETINGS WITH SUU KYI AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND EXTRACTS FROM THE UNPUBLISHED DIARIES OF HER CO-CAMPAIGNER AND FORMER CONFIDANTE MA THANEGI—INTO THIS VIVID PORTRAIT OF AUNG SAN SUU KYI, ILLUMINATING HER PUBLIC SUCCESSES AND PRIVATE SORROWS, HER INTELLECT AND ENDURING SENSE OF HUMOR, HER COMMITMENT TO PEACEFUL REVOLUTION, AND THE EXTREME PRICE SHE HAS PAID FOR IT.作者簡介彼德．波凡姆（PETER POPHAM） 1991年首次赴緬甸之後，又以臥底記者身分遊歷這個國家數次。身為英國《獨立報》駐外通訊記者及評論者，他在2002年翁山蘇姬獲釋時曾訪問她，之後於2011年再度與她會面。 PETER POPHAM HAS TOURED BURMA AS AN UNDERCOVER JOURNALIST SEVERAL TIMES SINCE HIS FIRST VISIT TO THE COUNTRY IN 1991.
