Summary

Norman Kember, a Christian pacifist, was kidnapped in Iraq and then released after a Special Forces raid. He was imprisoned for three and a half months in a small room and chained to two Canadian peace activists, James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden, and the American Tom Fox, who was later executed. This is his own account of his ordeal.
