Description
"Meihong Xu grew up during the upheaval of the Chinese Cultural Revolution and was inducted into the People's Liberation Army at the age of seventeen. Selected as one of the country's best and brightest, she became a member of the elite intelligence corps and was asked to spy on visiting professor Larry Engelmann, who had unwittingly drawn the suspicion of the Chinese authorities. But as she got to know him, she realized her old loyalties were gradually being divided. When their friendship was discovered, she was arrested, beaten, interrogated, and imprisoned. Engelmann was accused of raping Meihong Xu, shown her written accusation (forged by her interrogators), and ordered to leave the country or face immediate arrest."--BOOK JACKET. "This is their stunning story."--BOOK JACKET.
