Conformity Hill

Joyce Collins

I made fast friends with my peers, but I was not popular with the leadership. They were less than receptive to my opinion that requiring such strict conformity was not only unnecessary, but counter-productive. My outspoken nature quickly earned me close scrutiny from everyone in my chain of command, but I was good at my job. I received nothing but praise for my performance. There wasn't the slightest chink in my professional armor, so they did the only thing they could do. They waited for me to screw up. And screw up I did. I made a colossal error in judgment, completely non-commensurate with my rank, age, and experience. Then they came after me with no holds barred. I'd never been through such an upheaving experience and I hope never to do so again. I fought. I lost. I won. This is my story.

Aung San Suu Kyi: Politician...

Wendy Law-Yone

POLITICIAN • PRISONER • PARENT
A portrait of one of the most charismatic, but unknown, world leaders
Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and crusader for democracy
in Myanmar, is once again behind bars. Her resounding victory at the polls, and re-election to office as civilian head of state, were overturned by the February 2021 military coup – a move with ruinous consequences.
Aung San Suu Kyi has been here before. The first half of her political career was spent under house arrest. But this time she has been disappeared into prison in Naypyidaw, following an array of charges clearly calculated to keep her out of politics and out of sight for the rest of her life. This time she is caught in a zero-sum game.
Once deified by the international community for her advocacy of democracy and human rights, yet later vilified for her denial of the Burmese military’s genocidal campaign against the Rohingya, Aung San Suu Kyi’s image survives largely untarnished within Myanmar. Her supporters refer to her as ‘Amay Suu’ (Mother Suu). Heir to the political and spiritual legacy of her father, General Aung San, independence hero and martyr, she remains the lodestar of nationalist aspirations, and matriarch for a nation in distress.
This book tracks Aung San Suu Kyi’s transformation from daughter of a national hero to materfamilias of Myanmar, placing her firmly within the context of the Burmese Buddhist notions of nationhood and motherhood and explaining her continuing role as the figurehead of the nation’s struggles. The result is a unique portrait of a living legend, rendered by a compatriot and contemporary, the novelist Wendy Law-Yone.
POLITICIAN
Decades spent spearheading the fight for democracy in Myanmar – following her father Aung San’s legacy as founder of the modern Burmese nation.
PRISONER
Having already spent half
her political career under house arrest, in December 2022, Aung San Suu Kyi
was sentenced to 33 years
in prison.
PARENT
To her exiled family and
a nation.
Wendy Law-Yone's non-fiction biography of Aung San Suu Kyi offers a deep dive into the history of Southeast Asia. It's a top choice for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the 21st century's political climate.
For fans of Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Peter Frankopan (The First Crusade), Katja Hoyer (Beyond the Wall), Rory Stewart (The Places In Between), and Oliver Bullough (The Last Man in Russia).
