Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is the compelling story of James Mawdsley, a 27 year old man from Lancashire who returned home to Britain at the end 2000 having endured 14 months of solitary confinement and torture in a Burmese prison. Sentenced to 17 years imprisonment for his protests against the brutal military regime for the junta, this was not Mawdsley's first time to be captured but his third trip to Burma in what was a well thought-out, determined exercies in his campaign to publicize human rights violation in a country terrorised by an illegal regime. Mawdsley describes how he came to leave university, and the promise of academic success, to pursue instead something more purposeful, charting with sensitivity, intelligence and humour, the experiences that lead him to Burma. He goes on to describe his fellow prisoners and his torturers with irony and a kind of sympathetic tenderness. Mawdsley rejects any claim of heroism or bravery and instead reflects on his motives, his ability to survive such isolation and terror - how he discovered a kind of spiritual solace and peace despite his terrifying situation - and what now lies ahead, both for himself, with his new freedom, and for the people of Burma.

Broschiert. Zustand: Sehr gut. 396 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - 'Insein prison is as cruel as I'd heard. Occasionally I see other prisoners shuffling by in chains with eyes that have died. On my brief exercise periods I eat rotten mangoes from the mud. If I am moved about the prison it is only with a hood over my head.' Within just ten hours of entering Burma and handing out pro-democracy letters, James Mawdsley was sentenced to 17 years imprisonment. It was the third time he had been detained in Burma, a country terrorised by a brutal regime. Undaunted, he used his time in prison to challenge and defy the regime's lawless assumption of power. He endured torture, beatings, hunger strikes and over a year in solitary confinement. This is the compelling account of Mawdsley's four years in and out of Burma. There he witnessed the regime's genocidal persecution of Burma's border people and the inhumanity of the prisons. He had suspended the promise of academic success and a comfortable family life in England, to pursue instead something more purposeful - and with quite extraordinary consequences.
