When freedom fighter Aung San was assassinated in a military coup in 1947, he left a legacy in the form of an indomitable will and belief in the freedom of his daughter Aung San Suu Kyi. Despite the loss of family members, comrades and their own freedom, Aung San Suu Kyi continued to struggle with an incredible inner strength. That is why the Burmese call her Iron Butterfly.
The author Chee Soon Juan is Singapore's most prominent democracy activist and one of very few journalists who got to meet Aung San Suu Kyi during her time under house arrest. He portrays this well the background of the military coup that bloody massacre and the struggle still in progress for freedom.
