Min Zaw Oo is a Burmese Guerrilla turned top negotiator, who's fighting to end decades of insurgency in Myanmar. As a young man, he joined a student militia that was fighting the military government, but an epiphany in the jungle led him to reconsider his future. An opportunity to study in the USA presented itself, and he wrote his scholarship application from a trench. (Photo credit: Soe Than Win/Getty Images.)
