The Burma conspiracy is an attempt to raise international consciousness about the plight of the Burmese people through a work of fiction.
Burma has a population of 43 million. The majority were born since the early 1960s. They have known only fear and repression. There is no room for democracy under the ruling military junta.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Leader of the National League for Democracy, is entering her sixth year of political imprisonment. Still, the Government refuses to recognise the 1990 elections where over 85 per cent of the people voted for her party. She remains under heavy 24 hour, seven day a week, guard; allowed neither to leave her home nor receive visitors. Her husband and two sons abroad have seen little of her.
What of the country's future? It will remain unchanged—unless people outside Burma give voice to the Burmese people's concern, for those inside cannot.

JEROME NUGENT-SMITH is one of the few foreigners to have lived in Burma during the 1990s. He has travelled widely throughout the country, gaining insight into the peoples, customs, culture, religions, the political history—and the current political repression under the ruling military junta.
He was. born in Victoria, Australia, in 1946, and educated at Melbourne University and the University of Southern California. He has served the people of Victoria for eleven years; eight on various Government Statutory Boards and three as Honorary Consul General for the Philippines.
His first book was Connnonsense Marketing in 1985. He co-authored A Baby, Maybe with his wife, an autobiography about their experiences on the In-Vitro Fertilisation Programme, in 1986. The Burma Conspiracy, set mainly in Burma, is his first work of fiction. He has an abiding concern for the peoples of Burma, an interest strongly reflected in his new, meticulously researched work. The underlying message is clear: a cry for help for the imprisoned 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Aung San Suu Kyi, and the forty three million Burmese.
He is married to Carmel with one son, Oliver, to whom his books have been dedicated.
