A biography of the Nobel Prize-winning dissident Aung San Suu Kyi. Victor had to overcome tremendous odds in writing this book (her trip to Myanmar was strictly controlled by the military junta, and she never did get to interview Aung San Suu Kyi), but she nonetheless has constructed a balanced and compelling account of Ms. Kyi -- and the Burmese junta. With a new afterword covering events since the book was first published in 1998.  (BMA14, $15.00)
