This is the remarkable and wrenching memoir of a South Korean dissident who was unjustly accused of spying for the North Koreans and jailed for nineteen years as a political prisoner. The updated English-language edition traces Suh Sung''s experiences as a Korean citizen of Japan before his incarceration, his time in prison, and his subsequent release. Readers will be moved and awed by Suh''s courage under torture and solitary confinement. This memoir is an invaluable document for all concerned about human rights and a moving testimony to one man''s incredible determination.

Industry Reviews

In a well-translated, informative and sometimes moving account, Suh Sung tells of his nineteen-year detention in South Korea's prisons. . . . Despite its grim subject, the book has a warm, human heart, reflecting the endurance of its author. . . . Very readable and highly recommended.--Philip Gowman "London Korean Links "
