Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His book re-counts in detail the emotional turmoil he felt at being 'betrayed' by his desire to see China and Taiwan peacefully reunified, the tortuous circumstances under which he was compelled to write a 'confession' of his alleged crime, and his struggle to come to terms with what he--albeit unwittingly--brought upon himself. He decided to write it 'to contribute in a small way to wiping out the soil that produces such miscarriages of justice' in China, to make sure that he 'had not gone to jail for nothing'. For the international legions of human rights activists, Ching's Ordeal describes, in very ordinary terms, how the Chinese authorities--or any other undemocratic regime--use 'logic' and forms of mental torture to obtain 'confessions'. It shows up, without drama, the huge distance China needs to cover to become a country where the rule of law is not subject to politics.
