Eighteen Layers of Hell

British journalist Saunders draws from interviews with former Chinese prisoners, including the celebrity Harry Wu who inspired the book, and from written accounts to recreate the day-to-day experience and engender outrage in readers. Among her chapter titles are No Day or Night, the State as Psychopath, Return from Hell, A Dream of Democracy, Getting Used to Surviving, Sexual Reform and the Pseudo- Boys, the Dream of Gold, and The Earth on the Other Side of the World.
