About this edition
"In this gripping blend of reportage, memoir, and analysis, a journalist and daughter of one of the world"šÃ„ôs most famous hostages, Terry Anderson, takes an intimate look at her father"šÃ„ôs captivity during the Lebanese Hostage Crisis and the ensuing political firestorm on both her family and the United States"šÃ„îas well as the far-reaching implications of those events on Middle Eastern politics today. In 1991, seven-year-old Sulome Anderson met her father, Terry, for the first time. While working as the Middle East bureau chief for the Associated Press covering the long and bloody civil war in Lebanon, Terry had been kidnapped in Beirut and held for more than six years by a Shiite Muslim militia associated by most with the Hezbollah movement. As the nation celebrated, the media captured a smiling Anderson family joyously reunited. But the truth was far darker. Plagued by PTSD, Terry was a moody, aloof, and distant figure to the young daughter who had long dreamed of his return"šÃ„îand while she smiled for the cameras all the same, she absorbed his trauma as her own. Years later, after long battles with drug abuse and mental illness, Sulome would travel to the Middle East as a reporter, seeking to understand her father, the men who had kidnapped him, and ultimately, herself. What she discovered was shocking"šÃ„înot just about Terry, but about the international political machinations that occurred during the years of his captivity. is essential reading for anyone interested in international relations, this violent, haunted region, and America's role in its fate.
