A Must-Read book

I have never written a review before. This is a gripping, challenging account of one man's decision to DO Something, not just feel sad, concerned etc. Everyone should read this book: whether for the adventure, the insights into character and even politics, the amazing will-power and conviction of the person, the absence of western-white-guy knows all but collabotative, respectful approach to the Burmese (Myanmah) people and their fight against absolute infringement of human rights. The book is about integrity, honour, respect, indomitable will to fight for freedom against opression. All in all: a can't-put-down read. I got it from the library, we all read it in my house and now I am going out to buy a copy to keep!
