Conclusion.
On August 18, 1967 an event made headline news all over the world. 200 Red Guards smashed into the Peking home of Reuters correspondent, Anthony Grey, subjecting him to intensive physical abuse and imprisoning him for what ultimately became 26 long and torturous months in solitary confinement. In this book, Mr. Grey tells the story of that terrible time when he was both pawn and victim in an international dispute between Britain and Red China.
