When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, so many spies mingled in the lobby of Istanbul`s Pera Palace Hotel that the manager put up a sign asking them to relinquish seats to paying guests. As the multi-ethnic empire became a Turkish republic, Russian emigres sold family heirlooms, an African American impresario founded a jazz club & Miss Turkey became the first Muslim beauty queen. Turkey`s president Kemal Ataturk, Muslim feminist Halide Edip, the exiled Leon Trotsky & the future Pope John XXIII fought for new visions of human freedom.

For Billy Hayes, 1970 was a horrifying year. It was the year when he tried to smuggle 4lbs of hashish from Istanbul back to his home in America. It was the year when he was arrested at Istanbul airport, tried, & sentenced to 30 years in a Turkish jail. For five years he suffered the filth, brutality & degradation of imprisonment 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 & incredibly the bid succeeded. This is the astounding true story, told in Billy Hayes`s own words, of those five years of living hell & of the harrowing ordeal of his time on the run. Vivid & realistic without being morbid, it is a classic story of survival & human endurance, told with humour, intelligence & total honesty. ...
