Fully updated edition of the best collection of wide-ranging interviews with Aung Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner under house arrest in Burma
Born in 1945 and educated at Oxford University, Aung San Suu Kyi married Dr Michael Aris and brought up their children in Oxford. In 1988 she returned to Burma to care for her dying mother but was caught in a national revolt against political repression. She became the leader of the reform movement. After many years of house arrest, she has become a member of the Burmese Parliament and continues to work towards the freedom and modernization of her country. Alan Clements is a journalist, writer and human rights activist. He lived in Burma for many years in the 70s and 80s, nearly 5 years as a monk. He is the co-founder and director of the Burma Project USA/Canada, as well as a political satirist, performing his theatrical monologue to audiences around the world.

*New York Times*
I am delighted that The Voice of Hope is being republished. This is
a message that the world should hear
*President Jimmy Carter*
This is a remarkable book, as inspired as it is wise. Read it and
learn from Aung San Suu Kyi's amazing life
*Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart*
Suu Kyi is one of the most remarkable and brave women of our time.
Her dying husband Michael was refused permission to go to visit
her. Even the phone calls I used to have with her have been stopped
for some years. The regime in Burma is an outrage, and it is a blot
on the international community that we have done so little about
it. This book is testimony to the staunch commitment and sacrifice
of an astonishingly courageous and visionary person
*The Rt Hon the Lord David Steel of Aikwood KT*
Aung San Suu Kyi's struggle for freedom is Burma's struggle for
freedom. If you read this important book you'll understand why
*Maureen Lipman*
