Aung San Suu Kyi by Wendy Law-Yone
This concise biography traces the Burmese pro-democracy leader’s path from a politicized childhood as the daughter of an independence hero, through years abroad and her return during the 1988 uprising, to life under house arrest and global recognition. It examines Myanmar’s tangled history and the constraints of military rule as she shifts from dissident icon to de facto civilian leader after the 2015 election. Finally, it confronts the moral and political controversies surrounding the Rohingya crisis, offering a measured appraisal of an emblematic figure caught between idealism, realpolitik, and the burdens of power.
