The memoir of an international lawyer who is held in a Communist prison under bogus pretenses in the 1950’s and is transformed into a schizophrenic through the use of a truth serum. Follow his story as he plunges into the despair of schizophrenia and re-emerges from it. The stunning part of this tale is that he remembers what happens to him.
