A well structured and literate account of her life
*Independent*
Richly detailed and briskly paced, with a keen sense of place...
This thoughtful book is an important contribution to our knowledge
of a little-known land
*Sunday Telegraph*
Wintle's intelligent biography describes the immense personal
sacrifices Suu Kyi has made for her cause, but also, questions the
"intransigence" of her ongoing non-violent protest.
*FT*
Comprehensively researched
*Literary Review*
What Justin Wintle's new biography captures - in great detail and
considerable length - is the story and the character of the woman
behind the image of a valiant, but so far unsuccessful fighter
against tyranny
*Sunday Life (Belfast)*
