A season in hell : my 130 days in the Sahara with Al Qaeda

Fowler, Robert R 1944- (Author).

Summary: On December 14, 2008, Fowler, acting as the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Niger, was kidnapped by Al Qaeda. Along with his colleague Louis Guay, Fowler lived, slept, and ate with his captors for over four months, gaining rare first-hand insight into the world's most feared terrorist group. For those 130 punishing days, Fowler survived in extreme desert conditions at the whims of his volatile kidnappers, fearing every moment could be his last.
