All of these were experienced and witnessed by Romanian pastor, Richard Wurmbrand, during his fourteen years in Communist prisons. His crime? His fervent belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness to that faith.

Meeting in private homes, in basements and in woods, sometimes daring to preach in public on street corners, Wurmbrand and thousands of other Christians trapped behind the Iron Curtain persisted in their service of God well knowing the ultimate cost of their actions.

This is their story, as humbling and as relevant today as it was when first published in 1967.
