From the Inside Flap:
"Belongs on the shelf of classics about surviving degradation with dignity and even humor." Time
In March 1985, Terry Anderson was swept up in the violent conflict of a turbulent era. At the mercy of Shiite captors for nearly seven years, he lived in chains, wondering fearfully if each day would be his last. But his spirit soared beyond captivity, and he never gave up. Nor did those who loved him. And now, a free man again, he tells the harrowing and poignant story of a hostage's survival and final triumph.

From the Paperback edition.
Abridged from the memoirs of Terry Anderson, the Associated Press correspondent held hostage by Muslim fundamentalists for almost seven years, Den of Lions is a harrowing tale of physical and psychological deprivation and hardship. This audio adaptation achieves added poignancy through the interwoven narration of Anderson himself and his wife, Madeleine. Though the text reflects a journalist's integrity to the facts, an undertone of complex and conflicting emotions makes this first-hand account of Anderson's ordeal powerful and keenly felt. Terry and Madeleine Anderson take their audience on a unique journey not only through the battles that raged in the streets of Beirut, but the battles that waged within themselves as well. R.W.B.
