Hostage in Peking (1970) By Anthony Grey
 
Peking, 18 August 1967: With many foreign embassies already battered and defaced in a wave of mindless xenophobia, a frenzied mob invades the home of the only British journalist in China at midnight, yelling: 'Hang Grey! Hang Grey!' Then instead of lynching him, they hang his cat in his face and hold him hostage in total isolation for 2 years. 
 
nthony Grey, at the time a Reuters Correspondent , suffered two years of solitary confinement in his house in Peking before October 1969 at the behest of Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communist Regime, in their attempts to subjugate the Hong Kong Government. This autobiographical account, based on his secret shorthand diaries, is an objective chronicle of his confinement set against the historical, political, and emotional background of the time
