Written in first person, without the slightest embellishment, in a stern manner, which doesn't take away from its authenticity and impact.
The western reader is probably unaccustomed to this style, especially in the context of recounting disturbing events occurring in current times. There's no drama, no heart wrenching endless descriptions of the authors feelings, but instead purely factual statements.
The horrific events that the author suffers and witnesses are stated simply, without any attempt to further amplify or stir the reader. There's an immense risk of falling into the all familiar mentality of routing for the victims and hating the opressors. However temping this should be avoided at all cost. The light of one's mind should shine only on the incredible resilience of human spirit and ultimately give one unshaken faith in our strength.

Amazing, gripping account. A must read!
2023年1月31日にインドでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A very easy to read, first person account of a Tibetan monk and prisoner of 30 years. A must read for anyone interested in the recent experiences of political prisoners in Tibet. It is hard to put down once you start reading it.

Incredible story of the strength of human spirit
2016年2月3日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Incredible story of suffering, perseverance and potential of a human spirit. I was very inspired how after decades in prison the freedom fighters of Tibet could not longer be intimidated by torture of death. They had seen it all. In the end, they won and the oppressors could see that torture was no longer working. I loved the following bit form the book:
"For those who use brute force, there is nothing more insulting than a victim’s refusal to acknowledge their power. The human body can bear immesurable pain and yet recover. Wounds can heal. But once your spirit is broken, everything falls apart. So we did not allow ourselves to feel dejected. We drew strength from our conviction and, above all, from our belief that we were frighting for justice and for the freedom of our country."

1984 writ large - sad and brutal, but there's always hope ...
2012年4月1日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A truly wonderful book - taking us from the lost Tibet of the author's youth, with priceless insights into family life and the life of a young monk in those now distant times, through the terrors of the invasion, decades in prison, the horrors, madness and destruction of the cultural revolution, and the brutal conditions of the Chinese prison-state that was imposed on Tibet. It is a sad and horrific story, but the dignity, compassion and integrity of the author bearing witness to the vicious, criminal behaviour of the prison authorities is a story that must be told. So evocative of the totalitarian regimes of Orwell's 1984 - this is a disturbing firsthand account relating China's adoption of newspeak, with lies disseminated as truth, opposition ruthlessly tortured and crushed. And yet the book doesn't dwell on the terrors - it is a simple and quietly related testament of a man who has suffered and suffered, but never surrendered and never lost hope.
For Kindle users - disappointingly, the Kindle edition does not include the many illustrations that are listed as included in the hardcopy version.
