This book weaves together the personal and political life of Nobel laureate and democratic icon Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been the face of the peaceful movement for freedom in Burma for decades now. This book is a result of a number of interviews that the author had with Aung San, and examines her life from up-close and presents her views and thoughts on many issues in her own words - like the years she spent in India and the deep influence that Mahatma Gandhi had on her life.

Review:
Paul Boehmer is a seasoned actor who has appeared on Broadway, film, and television, including The Thomas Crown Affair and All My Children. Coinciding with another of his passions, sci-fi, Paul has been cast in various roles in many episodes of Star Trek.
"The book provides a rich historical context for understanding the personal courage and sacrifices of the 'Iron Butterfly,' as well as of thousands of ordinary Burmese citizens. It is especially important in South and Southeast Asia, where many women have risen to power due to family backgrounds and have not lived up to the ideals of freedom and democracy, that Aung San Suu Kyi provides a different model of leadership."—Manisha Desai, associate professor of sociology and women’s studies, University of Connecticut (Manisha Desai)
"To anyone who wants to try to understand why, I highly recommend Burma scholar Jesper Bengtsson’s highly readable biography."—Östgöta Correspondenten (Östgöta Correspondenten)
"An excellent biography."—Tidningen Ångermanland (Tidningen Ångermanland)
"An engaging and believable portrait of a remarkable woman who stands out against the harrowing backdrop of Burma's sad story, which Bengtsson knows better than most. I confess: my admiration is endless."—Dagens Nyheter (Dagens Nyheter)
