"The story of the man who brought liberal change to China and who, at the height of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, tried to stop the massacre and was dethroned for his efforts ... Zhao was placed under house arrest ... [and] spent the last 16 years of his life ... in seclusion ... Zhao did produce a memoir, in complete secrecy. He methodically recorded his thoughts and recollections on what had happened behind the scenes during many of modern China's most critical moments. The tapes ... were smuggled out of the country and form the basis for Prisoner of the State"--Publisher's description
