I highely suggest a book by Pramoedya Anata Toer. There is a four volume book which tackled Indonesian politics in the 16th century. this book was banned by the preivous government and him prisoned. He fought first Dutch colonialism which landed him to prison. then the Suharto government, which again landed him to prison. From 1979 to 1998. He was released after Suharto was overthrown.
the remarkable thing about this book is that he memorized the story, told it to his fellow prisoner, and they inturn wrote it down and published it abroad. The book was banned till 1998. Truly an amazing man.
