Freedom from Fear is an essential book for all who interested in learning more about Burma and about the inner strength that Aung San Suu Kyi draws on to continue the nonviolent struggle for democracy for her people.
Compiled by Aung San Suu Kyi’s husband, Michael Aris, with a foreword by Vaclav Havel, this volume includes a wide selection of writings: essays, letters, speeches, and interviews. The book provides a background on Burma’s political, intellectual and literary history, and includes a moving yet unsentimental biography of the author’s father, Aung San.
Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Laureate (1991), human rights activist and leader of Burma’s National League for Democracy, was detained in 1989 by the ruling military junta and remains under house arrest in Rangoon. Originally published in 1996, this book is a revised edition with a foreword by Desmond Tutu.
