Terry Anderson - 7 years in Captivity

First UK paperback, 1994. Harrowing Account of Terry Anderson's ordeal in Lebanon. 2, 455 days in Captivity at the hands of Muslim Fundamentalists.
The Author died in 2024. In 1985 Terry Anderson left his pregnant fiancée, Madeleine, to go to Beirut on a routine assignment as the chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press. Little did he know that he wouldn't see Madeleine for seven years or meet his daughter, Sulome, until she was six years old.

He was kidnapped on the streets of Beirut on 16 March 1985 and spent the next 2,455 days in captivity at the hands of Moslem fundamentalists... In this time the longest of any western hostage held in Lebanon - he endured months of solitary confinement, beatings and daily humiliation.

In DEN OF LIONS Terry Anderson tells his own incredible story: his insight into and perspective on the conflict in the Middle East, as well as the grim details of his years in captivity, provide a unique view of this war-torn part of the world. But this is not only Terry's memoir: his fiancée contributes her own chapters, which describe how she struggled to bring up their child alone, while never knowing whether Terry was dead or alive.

DEN OF LIONS
is a story of personal courage, of Terry Anderson's sheer determination to survive an unprecedented ordeal for nearly seven years, while never failing to give brave and unflinching support to his fellow prisoners.
