Back Cover Copy: "Am I About to Die?"On December 5, 2012, American medical doctor Dilip Joseph and two colleagues are driving back to Kabul, Afghanistan, after serving villagers that morning at a rural clinic.
After reading this dramatic and inspiring account, you will never view Afghanistan or the Taliban in the same way again..
Kidnapped by the Taliban is a Story of both Terror and triumph.
Hope.
Breathe.
Step.
All I can do is take a step, draw a breath, and Hope I will be given the chance for another.
In the space of a few minutes, I have lost all control of my life.
It is amazing how quickly everything we take for granted can be ripped away.
Let it be one shot and done.
God, however this is going to end, please don\'t let them torture me to death.
As we walk, I fear the worst--that when we reach the top, they will shoot us.
I\'ve been Kidnapped by the Taliban.
This is too systematic.
These aren\'t ordinary robbers.
Apprehension surges up in me like black oil from a well.
I look higher and see more armed men at the top of a hill about two hundred feet above us.
There is no path.
Flap Copy: With a jerk of his rifle, the leader points up the mountain on the left.
As Dilip begins to view the Taliban not as monsters but as men, both he and his captors are challenged to reexamine everything that matters: courage, sacrifice, hope, and faith.
It is also a tale of surprising connection, compassion, and inspiration.
Yet this is more than a Story of desperation, survival, and loss.
Four days later Dilip is freed in a daring and deadly Rescue that claims the life of a Seal Team Six operator.
Dilip and his friends endure a nine-hour march into the mountains, gruesome images of torture and death, and repeated threats of execution.
For Dilip, it is the beginning of a nightmare--he\'s being Kidnapped by the Taliban.
More armed men jump out of hiding.
Suddenly a man waving an AK-47 blocks their path.
