Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

A phenomenal best-seller in Japan, Suh Sung's memoir is at once a painstaking and painful description of prison life in South Korea during Park Chung Hee's dictatorial rule, and a memorable and moving testimony to the resiliency of the human spirit. Unbroken Spirits instructs, instigates, and inspires. I recommend it heartily.
