Held by the Taliban

Or Taleban, if you’re British. Sheesh guys, spell it OUR way, dammit.

Anyway, a journalist and his other journalist buddy and his driver in Afghanistan were kidnapped. And being New York Times journalists, obviously they made him write a fancy exclusive series about his experience and put it in five parts over a few days and stuff. Pretty amazing stuff, from the capture to the escape, in very gritty detail, like they… made it up. Just kidding. Very narrative-like, which isn’t a bad thing.

I suggest you read it before the writer turns it into a book and charges thirty bucks for ir.
