Description
Brian Keenan's harrowing account of his four and a half year captivity in Beirut is a gripping and thought-provoking memoir. In 1985, Keenan was kidnapped by fundamentalist Shi'ite militiamen while visiting the city for a change of scene from Belfast. Held in the suburbs of Beirut, he was cut off from all news and contact with the outside world, leaving him to rely on his jailers and fellow hostages for sustenance. Keenan's story is one of resilience and survival, as he navigates the complexities of his captors' ideology and grapples with the moral implications of his situation. The book offers a unique perspective on the events leading up to and during the Lebanese Civil War, and provides insight into the experiences of Western hostages in the region. Published in 1993, "An Evil Cradling" is a powerful and unflinching account of one man's ordeal, shedding light on the human cost of conflict and the complexities of international relations.
