BLINDFOLD: A Memoir of Capture, Torture, and Enlightenment

Recounts Padnos' two years in captivity in Syria, where he was frequently tortured at the hands of the al Qaeda affiliate Jebhat al-Nusra. No other journalist has lived among terrorists for as long--and survived. An astonishing portrait of courage and endurance that combines the emotional power of a captive's memoir with a journalist's account of a culture and a nation in conflict.
