Aung
San is revered in Burma as the architect of Burmese freedom. Tragically,
he was assassinated in 1947 just five months before Burma achieved its
hard-won independence. In this highly readable biography that relies
extensively on personal interviews, British archival records and much
other primary and secondary material, Angelene Naw traces the Burmese
struggle for independence and Aung San’s pivotal role in it. The
result is an engaging historical account of Burma’s most prominent
leader, whose vision continues to be upheld by his daughter and
namesake, Aung San Suu Kyi, in today’s Burma. Published
