With two small front cover portrait photos of Jane and David Barton, the introduction reads in part: "Jane and David Barton were field directors of the American Friends Service Committee's Rehabilitation Center in Quang Ngai, South Vietnam from May, 1971 until May, 1973. In addition to providing medical services, physical therapy, and prosthetic care for the many thousands of war-injured civilians, the AFSC program also included medical visits to people at the Quang Ngai Prison and at the prisoner ward of the Quang Ngai Hospital." Their testimony begins, "Since the ceasefire accords [Paris Peace Treaty] the Saigon government has continued to detain, arrest, interrogate, torture, and imprison a large number of civilians in Quang Ngai Province. There are approximately 2,500 civilians currently imprisoned for political reasons in Quang Ngai Province. At the Province Interrogation Center, there are over 1,000 people, at the Quang Ngai Prison another 1,000 people, and at the district detention centers several hundred more. During our two years of work in Quang Ngai we met and spoke with several hundred prisoners at these various prison facilities. Not once did we ever meet a prisoner who had been arrested for criminal reasons.".
