Prisoners of Hope : The Story of Our Captivity and Freedom in Afghanistan

310pp plus central section of colour illustrations. Laminated card covers (very gently edge wear). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight, barring a small portion cut away at corner of half-title page. Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer arrived in Afghanistan determined to help bring a better life and a little hope to some of the poorest, most oppressed people in the world. Within a month, they were arrested by the Taliban government. In the midst of their trial, the events of September 11, 2001, led to the international war on terrorism. Here Dayna and Heather tell their story. 8vo.
