520    "An epic, multigenerational story of courage and sacrifice
       set in a tropical dictatorship on the verge of massive 
       transformation, The Rebel of Rangoon captures a gripping 
       moment of possibility in Burma. Journalist Delphine 
       Schrank spent four years underground tracking Burmese 
       dissidents whose semi-clandestine existence and fight for 
       democracy remained largely hidden behind their globally 
       celebrated figurehead, Aung San Suu Kyi. With intimate, 
       vivid prose, Schrank follows the inner life of a daredevil
       young dissident, his friends and rivals, across rural 
       hamlets and flickering internet connections, into prison 
       cells and safe houses, and deep into their own hearts, as 
       they escape spies and outwit interrogators, fall in love 
       or slip into insanity. Through that dissident's 
       perspective, Schrank unfurls a harrowing account of a 
       country's efforts to emerge from military dictatorship, 
       how a movement of dissidents came into being, how it 
       almost died, and how it pushed its government to crack 
       apart and begin an irreversible process of political 
       reform. In doing so, Schrank delivers a profoundly human 
       exploration of daring and defiance and of the power and 
       meaning of freedom. "--|cProvided by publisher.
