** 2008 Edition with new author preface and postscript **

Hostage in Peking Plus - the classic account of life as a hostage.

This best-selling book of the 1970s is being republished with an updated postscript from the author Anthony Grey, describing his life experiences over the past 30 years and putting the experience as a hostage in Pekinginto perspective. He explains why and how he has moved from becoming an international best-selling novelist - Saigon, Peking, TokyoBay, The Bangkok Secret are his best-known books - to founding a new global publishing imprint The Tagman Press.

In October 1969, he emerged from two and a half years of solitary captivity in the basement of his house in Peking.  Confined in a tiny room plastered with Maoist slogans, his lonely fight against despair and isolation is a vivid illustration of the harrowing plight that every hostage must face up to.

"A book about a singular triumph of mind and one not to be missed"
