Hostage Bound, Hostage Free

Rating:
Summary: Compelling tale of faith, hope and politics
Review: The reverend Ben Weir and his wife Carol recount their experiences of Ben's captivity and Carol's quest for his freedom. Chapters alternate from one point of view to the other, painting a vivid picture of Ben's ordeal and his family's efforts to locate and free him.

Of course the government stonewalled their efforts but private citizens like Jessie Jackson and Muhammad Ali came to their aid. Ironically Ben, a man of peace was likely released as part of an arms for hastages deal, which Reagan denied in a personal letter to Weir.
