As someone who knew very little about Burma, I found 'The Lady and the Generals' to be both eye-opening and compelling. It's also beautifully written and highly readable, despite the occasionally grim subject matter. Above all it is honest, which is perhaps the highest praise for a biography. Popham is clearly an expert on the subject, and anecdotes from his frequent visits to Burma over the past 20 years perfectly illustrate the changing situation in the country. And with Suu's party now firmly in control of parliament following recent elections, and Suu herself acting as president by proxy, the next chapter in Burma's political journey promises to be equally fascinating.

Thanks to Rider for providing the review copy.
