Now Available! “Captivity”

Jim Loney tells the story of his 2005 CPT delegation’s kidnapping, with Harmeet Sooden, Norman Kember and Tom Fox, in Baghdad, Iraq.  He reflects on 118 days of fear, hope and waiting and his continuing commitment to pacifism in the face of his paradoxical rescue by Special Forces.  Jim brings the reader into the terror, the banality, the friction, and the moral dilemmas of surviving captivity.  Available at www.cpt.org/resources/books and CPT offices.
