Biografi

An American reporter's chilling account of being kidnapped and imprisoned by the Taliban in the no-man's-land between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Jere Van Dyk was on the wrong side of the border. He and three Afghan guides had crossed into the tribal areas of Pakistan, where no Westerner had ventured for years, hoping to reach the home of a local chieftain by nightfall. But then a dozen armed men in black turbans appeared over the crest of a hill. Captive is Van Dyk's searing account of his forty-five days in a Taliban prison, and it is gripping and terrifying in the tradition of the best prison literature. The main action takes place in a single room, cut off from the outside world, where Van Dyk feels he can trust nobody—not his jailers, not his guides (who he fears may have betrayed him), and certainly not the charismatic Taliban leader whose fleeting appearances carry the hope of redemption as well as the prospect of immediate, violent death. Van Dyk went to the tribal areas to investigate the challenges facing America there. His story is of a deeper, more personal challenge, an unforgettable tale of human endurance. "What this reporter lived through is, I think, pretty much the most frightening thing a journalist could be subjected to. . . . Please read it." —New York Times–bestselling author Sebastian Junger "Rich and revealing. . . . Offers a rare and complicated portrait of the Taliban mentality seen through discerning Western eyes." —Washington Post "A vivid portrait of a man under stress and pressure, producing the equivalent of war's high tension and terror." —Boston Globe
