On June 15, 1953 at 11:30 P.M. in Shanghai the Chinese arrested an American Jesuit, Father John Clifford. He was not told the charge against him. For the next three years he waged a private war against the most rigid and subtle physical and psychological tortures. Then in 1956, Father Clifford literally was thrown out of jail by his enraged and frustrated captors, not having surrendered a confession or a single fragment of his integrity.
This is a story which, Father Clifford says,†I had to write – as an American. For many years I have been disturbed by the impact of the communist psychological warfare on the United States…. I learned how the communists can be defeated at their own game….
