For the first time, Besieged presents a firsthand account by the author's grandparents and other missionaries of the overwhelming trials and tribulations they suffered beside the Chinese people during the far-reaching struggle for China's political unification.
When Stephen Hall discovered his grandmother's 1928 diary from Mukden (now Shenyang), China, he felt compelled to preserve a record of the momentous historical events she and his grandfather had experienced as missionaries during the Chinese Civil War. After four years of intense research that confirmed the China stories that his grandparents had shared with him, he has written a thrilling firsthand account never before revealed to the public.
