The blue cloth boards remain firm and bright, exhibiting only minor bumping to the spine ends and sharp, unrubbed corners. The binding is structurally sound and tight throughout, with no rolling or leaning. Internally, the pages are crisp, clean, and free of foxing, retaining a well-preserved text block without significant age-toning. The original, unclipped dust jacket presents excellently, showing only gentle edge-wear, minor rubbing to the extremities, and very slight dust-dulling to the rear panel, with no major chips, tears, or notable loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a true first edition, distinguished by a notable personal inscription on the title page.

Kidnapped in January 1971 while serving as the British Ambassador in Montevideo, Jackson chronicles the profound psychological endurance, political tension, and complex human dynamics that defined his confinement in the \"people's prison.\" Written with characteristic diplomatic grace and resilience, the memoir stands as a compelling testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of political extremism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55654165217619,"sku":"6611","price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261023_114358.jpg?v=1793216257","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/peoples-prison-geoffrey-jackson-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
