5.0 out of 5 stars Triumph of the spirit, 22 May 2007
By Wayne Redhart "Also on Twitter!" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Terry Waite's biography demonstrates the sheer strength of the human spirit and provides an uplifting account of his survival of the years of hardship. Few could have survived such an ordeal without losing hope and it offers some remarkable insights into the man's strength of character. Surprisingly, the section on his years in confinement is not all doom and gloom. Some of the tales of pranks that he used to play on his captors had me in stitches of laughter. You can just imagine his cheeky grin when the bucket of waste fell off the door and onto the poor guard's head! All in all, a truly inspiring read and a fine tribute to a great man.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring read., 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
We often take for granted the little things in life - few people can have experienced having ALL of that taken away in an instant. Terry Waite gives gripping details about life in captivity and how it feels to be locked in a dark room for months on end without seeing or talking to a sole. He also includes a very interesting insight into his life before being imprisoned which would be worth reading on it's own. If you want to be inspired - read THIS book !!

4.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable, 16 Sep 2007
By A. Kay - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A well written book of Mr Waite's incarceration intertwined with his extraordinary life. I found it to be slow in places although enjoyed it immensely. I would however like to learn more about the interaction when he was finally moved into a cell with the remaining hostages.

A truly caring and devout man who again demonstrated these qualities when the BBC reporter Alan Johnston was on the cusp of release. We need more like him.

I read this when it was first published and have just read it again. During his captivity, one of the things Terry Waite constantly asks for is a book to read. Read more

The title of my review is a song by Tracy Chapman. Terry Waite must have dug deep during his period in solitary confinement. It couldn't happen to such a good man. Read more
