The book, A Rope and a Prayer, is about a journalist, David Rhode, who was held hostage by the Taliban. He is a New York Time’s journalist who was on assignment in Afghanistan when he was kidnapped. Rhode experienced seven terrible months while being held captive. This book not only shows the perspective of the author, but it also tells us what his wife and family went through. Luckily Rhode is alive today. I chose this book because of the interesting and thrilling subject matter. I hope to learn more about the country of Afghanistan, the Taliban and its tribes, and the political climate of the country today. I look forward to reading this book and I think it will give me a good overall view of the problems the people in Afghanistan face.
