About the book >.>.> In a totalitarian regime the entire nation is imprisoned and the individual lives in a miasma of debt and fear. The one who speaks out for truth and freedom becomes a threat to the state's all-pervading authority, and must be silenced, all to often by imprisonment, or worse. Throughout human history there have been those who express in themselves that defiance which seems embedded in them more than others. They are the conscience of us all. All of us can express defiance to a point, but prisoners of conscience seem to draw this spirit of defiance from a deeper well. They stand for the conscience that exists in each of us and for the values to be found in the moral standards of the larger group. On their shoulders they carry the burden of society, for their protest can right the wrongs of society. Their challenge can be the focus of an existing but unarticulated discontent. Artikel-Nr.
