Escape from Kabul
Eberhard Muehlan
with Diana Thomas, Peter Bunch & the Shelter Now Team
first revised English edition published 2003 Strand Publishing, Sydney.
The dramatic story of the Shelter Now Aid Workers captured by the Taliban.
On Sunday 5 August 2001, Australian aid workers Diana Thomas and Peter Bunch were suddenly seized by Afghanistan's radical Taliban regime. Accused of spreading Christianity in the fervently Muslim nation, they and six colleagues from the international aid organization Shelter Now spent the next 103 days in harsh prisons, not knowing whether they would be released or sentenced to death.
After September 11, they became pawns in a deadly political game as their Taliban captors scrambled to head off impending US attacks.....The agony, the desparate prayers, the hopes, the panic during bombing raids, and the final breathtaking suspense of their rescue by US Special Forces in the dead of night - all are recounted here in the aid workers' own words.
