This amazing true story can be quite difficult to read at times due to the levels of violence and fear described. BUT - perhaps strangely - it restores my faith in humanity and the power of people to help and support each other. These 2 men suffered terribly during their captivity and sometimes grew close to total despair - but each time one of them reached that point, the other found the strength within to support their comrade. One of the best books I have ever read!! I’ve read it twice and had to buy it again after hearing them in conversation on radio 4.

Brian is a hero. Great humour overcoming deep despair. His humble telling stays with you forever.

John McCarthy seemed to have the momopoly on the Beirut experience when he brought out "some Other rainbow" but if you want an incomparable portrayal of how it feels to be cut off, alone and without anyone to whom you can appeal to for help I urge you to read the passages about Keenan's exact state of mind during solitary confinement.
