“What shines through, even in horrific moments, is Johnston’s balance, decency and humour.”—Bloomberg

When Alan Johnston, the last Western journalist who dared to remain in Gaza, was kidnapped by terrorists, millions of people around the world felt the need to express their anger and determination to set him free. His captivity was an attack on the freedom of speech, and this collection of Johnston’s dispatches is the long-awaited and moving account of life in Gaza, his ordeal, and his release.

Alan Johnston joined the BBC in 1991. He now presents From Our Own Correspondent on the BBC World Service.
