Ben Weir

"The Reverend Benjamin M. Weir was seized on the streets of Beirut by a group
of Shiite Muslim extremists in May of 1984. The painful ordeal of his sixteen
months' imprisonment is now described from the points of view of Ben, in
captivity, and of his wife, Carol, who worked long and tirelessly to secure his
release. Beyond the poignant human story, this book sheds light on urgent
questions concerning America's involvement, and the church's presence, in
troubled lands." --jacket… (meer)
