Terry Waite was the Archbishop of Canterbury"s personal representative, working for the release of hostages in Beirut, when he himself was taken captive and held in solitary confinement for five years. Through the first year, his guards refused his requests for something to read, so he wrote his autobiography in his head and worked to recall books, poems, and prayers he had read during his life. Eventually his guards brought him books, a random collection ranging from Herodotus to Dorothy Sayers to Dr. Spock and a textbook on breast feeding. Here he records "a journey made in the company of books . . ." selections from some of the volumes the guards brought, exerpts from others held in memory, and some he wished he had had.
