Escape from the Lion’s Paw contains the reflections of five political exiles (Francis Khoo Kah Siang, Ang Swee Chai, Tan Wah Piow, Ho Juan Thai and Tang Fong Har) and Tsui Hon Kwong who was a Public Service Commission scholar from Hong Kong.
It is the first book written by Singapore exiles and published in Singapore. In it the exiles share with readers first hand accounts of how they flee Singapore to avoid arrests and indefinite detention without trial.
The authors speak about their adaptation to the countries that adopted them and their continuing work in fighting for social justice.
