About this ebook

 A Prayer Before Dawn is the true story of one man’s fight to survive inside Klong Prem Prison, the notorious Bangkok Hilton. Billy Moore travelled to Thailand to escape a life of drug addiction and alcoholism. He managed to overcome his inner demons for a time but relapsed after trying ya ba – a highly-addictive form of methamphetamine.

Moore’s life quickly descended into chaos, drug dealing and violence until he was eventually arrested and imprisoned in Klong Prem, a place where life has no value. A Prayer Before Dawn is no ordinary prison memoir; it’s the story of one man’s struggle to survive in one of the world’s toughest prisons. It’s also a story of redemption in the most unlikely of places.

Iconic" 1of the best books I've ever read Billy is my cousin I've been with him through some of them dark days the man is a true warrior and legend. Respect Bill,la love you lad.

Great book!! Well done Billy Moore. It pulls you right in and you fall in love with his story and him. At times I felt like I could feel what he was going thru and just wanted to be there for him. I recommend this book to all

This book was a pile of Rubbish! The author clearly is illiterate. His writing style is very poor with unclear conclusions. You will be a mugg like me to buy this stupid book!
