A Rope and a Prayer: A Kidnapping from Two Sides by David RohdeMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is an incredible opportunity to gain insight into what really happens when a journalist/loved one is kidnapped by the Taliban; how ransom payments are negotiated and what unofficial agencies are available to consider for bagmen, snatch-and-grab, or consulting. Stretching over Pakistan and Afghanistan, the end of W's term and the start of Obama's, this is also a window into the practical workings then of Pakistan's ISI, the multi-national Taliban, and the Haqqani network
