Den of Lions: A Startling Memoir of Survival and… af Terry Anderson
A hard story to read.
The memoir of Terry Anderson who was taken captive in Lebanon in 1985. It chronicles his survival and ultimate release.
Terry Andersons memoir is not only about how he survived, but also about how his spirit endured and triumphed. Physically inprisoned, beaten, treated more as an opject than as a human being, Anderson bound over how the human spirit can reach beyond the bars of prison.
Terry Anderson was the chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, based in Beirut Lebanon, when he was kidnapped by the then unknown Islamic Jihad. Held for almost seven years in various apartments and basements throughout Lebanon, this book is his story of the ordeal. I don’t have a lot to say about the book or the writing. It’s hard to make 350 pages about sitting in a room very interesting. While the physical and mental strain had to be great, the chief break in the monotony of being a prisoner in squalor was the occasional rough moves to other locations. Beyond that Anderson tries to bring the reader through the mental states he traversed during his captivity. He largely succeeded for me, but that success brings with it it’s own brand of monotony.
