While working as the Middle East bureau chief\u003cbr\u003e\n for the Associated Press covering the long and bloody civil war in \u003cbr\u003e\nLebanon, Terry had been kidnapped in Beirut and held forand her entire \u003cbr\u003e\nlifeand by a Shiite Muslim militia associated with the Hezbollah movement.As\u003cbr\u003e\n the nation celebrated, the media captured a smiling Anderson family \u003cbr\u003e\njoyously reunited. But the truth was far darker. Plagued by PTSD, Terry \u003cbr\u003e\nwas a moody, aloof, and distant figure to the young daughter who had \u003cbr\u003e\nlong dreamed of his return-and while she smiled for the cameras all the \u003cbr\u003e\nsame, she absorbed his trauma as her own. Years later, after long\u003cbr\u003e\n battles with drug abuse and mental illness, Sulome would travel to the \u003cbr\u003e\nMiddle East as a reporter, seeking to understand her father, the men who\u003cbr\u003e\n had kidnapped him, and ultimately, herself. What she discovered was \u003cbr\u003e\nshocking-not just about Terry, but about the international political \u003cbr\u003e\nmachinations that occurred during the years of his captivity.The Hostage's Daughter\u003cbr\u003e\n is an intimate look at the effect of the Lebanese Hostage Crisis on \u003cbr\u003e\nAnderson's family, the United States, and the Middle East today. Sulome \u003cbr\u003e\ntells moving stories from her experiences as a reporter in the region \u003cbr\u003e\nand challenges our understanding of global politics, the forces that \u003cbr\u003e\nspawn terrorism and especially Lebanon, the beautiful, devastated, and \u003cbr\u003e\nvitally important country she came to love. Powerful and eye-opening The Hostage's Daughter\u003cbr\u003e\n is essential reading for anyone interested in international relations, \u003cbr\u003e\nthis violent, haunted region, and America's role in its fate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sulome anderson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44229473337404,"sku":"9780062385499","price":1197.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/the-hostage-s-daughter-a-story-of-family-madness-and-the-middle-east-9780062385499.jpg?v=1776778518","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-hostages-daughter-a-story-of-family-madness-and-the-middle-east","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
