Description

In May 2013, freelance photographer Daniel Rye was captured in Syria and held prisoner by the Islamic State for thirteen months. The ISIS Hostage recounts Daniel's ordeal and the impact on his family, as well as the negotiations and efforts to secure his release. Written with Daniel's full cooperation and based on interviews with former fellow prisoners and others involved behind the scenes, the book offers insight into captivity, the toll it takes on people, and the mission to locate and free Daniel and other hostages.
