Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. For Billy Hayes, 1970 was a horrifying year. It was the year when he tried to smuggle 4lbs of hashish from Instanbul back to his home in America. It ws the year when he was arrested at Instanbul airport, tried, and sentenced to thirty years in a Turkish jail. For five years he suffered the filth, brutality and degradation of imprisonement in an environment of hellish squalor, while his family fought in vain to secure his release. Finally, in desperation, he made a daring escape bid - and incredibly, the bid succeeded. This is the astounding true story, told in Billy Hayes's own words, of those five years of living hell and of the harrowing ordeal of his time on the run. Vivid, realistic, without being morbid, it is a classic story of survival and human endurance, told with humour, intelligence and total honesty.We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). …
