Explanation To Books An Evil Cradling

Brian Keenan went to Beirut in 1985 for a change of scene from his native Belfast. He became headline news when he was kidnapped by fundamentalist Shi'ite militiamen and held in the suburbs of Beirut for the next four and a half years. For much of that time he was shut off from all news and contact with anyone other than his jailers and, later, his fellow hostages, amongst them John McCarthy.

Comment On Appertaining To Books An Evil Cradling

One of the most moving and perspective shifting books I have ever read. Keenan's story of captivity and exposure to a very broken segment of human society is highly topical in this day and age. Anyone who would seek to defend imprisonment without trial should read and consider this man's experiences.While the second half of the book, his time in captivity with another hostage, does not quite live up to the intensity of the first hundred pages or so, it is still well worth reading. The first

Simply one of the best books I've ever read. It's stayed with me and it's impact hasn't lessened over time. Just read it.

The great thing about this book is how utterly honest an account it attempts to be. Keenan takes us on a mental and emotional journey through his horrific kidnapping and how he managed to survive it with his sense of self intact. Part of this was the extraordinary and mutually supportive bond that he formed with John McCarthy and other prisoners. Self-reflective in the extreme, he never loses sight of the way that this inhuman situation imprisons his captors too. It's a highly individualistic

This is a truly haunting book, so much so that it hit me today, I cannot even remember what I was thinking about or why but suddenly it was there, from over 25 years ago, I remembered that I had read this book. I couldn't remember it's name (can't believe it now I've seen it!) but I remembered how it made me feel..I was 10 at the time (someone put it in our little classroom library, in Ireland.. ) but even without having re-read it as an adult I remember thinking it was written well and it

I first read this book shortly after it was published; it is an unforgettable account of brutality and the loss of freedom but also an uplifting account of hope, resilience and friendship. Brian was kidnapped and incarcerated in Beirut and over more than 4 years moved to various hiding places. The account of how he and fellow prisoner, John McCarthy were transported from place to place was both fascinating and horrible. I found myself holding my breath through the ordeal with them. Brian and

This wasn't a very easy read. I'll start by saying that I started reading this book after I saw a Facebook comment claiming this is good literature. I was intrigued as Middle East history and people overcoming struggles are things I enjoy reading about. I struggled reading this book because it was very interesting at times but then it became very dull. So I found myself pushing through the dull parts, hoping that it would become interesting again. I feel like the observations about humans and

I've read a few prison memoirs, and while you may feel immense sympathy, and while the writing process may have been cathartic, they tend to be pretty samey and dull.So I wasn't expecting to find this a *5 work, but it totally is. Brian Keenan had been away from Belfast on a teaching post, in Beirut for 4 months when he was kidnapped by islamic 'jihadists' and held prisoner for four and a half years. This is an entirely engrossing read as Keenan delves into the recesses of his mind to explain
