The first half of this book is an incredible look into the world of ethnic liberation and self determination in Burma, unfortunately the second half is Mawdsley spouting self righteous ultra-christian rhetoric.

Mawdsley's story is one of personal sacrifice and sheer determination in speaking for the people of this beautiful land. It was heart wrenching to read about what he endured in his time in Insein and Kengtung. It is also salient to point out that the fact that he was a foreigner meant that he did not have to endure some of the brutalities inflicted on their own people. All the best to Burma.

Everyone who has a cause should read this book and gain inspiration from the amazing optimism of the man who wrote this book. A very moving, and passionate read - it had me in tears at some parts. Recommended!!!

This guy has a lot of guts and is one of my heroes! Goes to Burma to get arrested deliberately to highlight the oppressive regime - more than once! Some excellent quotes, too, as chapter headings.

very inspiring story....I applaud Mr. Maudsley for his courage and strong will to fight for Burma's freedom! And of course, for this wonderful piece of work!

5 stars!
