Book Review: Kidnapped by the Taliban by Dr. Dilip Joseph


Kidnapped by the Taliban: A Story of Terror, Hope, and Rescue by SEAL Team Six by Dr. Dilip Joseph was a great read!  I think you will be surprised of his experience as a Taliban hostage. 

Dr. Dilip Joseph was in Afghanistan doing non profit medical work when he and 2 of his associates were kidnapped by members of the Taliban.  In this book he recounts his experience as a hostage, and his rescue and return home.

This book is very well written and was enjoyable to read.  I am prior military, so maybe that aided to my interest of the topic, but I feel that this book would be enjoyed by anyone. 

Dr. Joseph is of Indian descent (from India) and I feel his race aided in his treatment as a hostage, none the less, I think you will be surprised, as was I, to his experiences.  Being a charitable worker, he sees his captors through very different eyes.  He is a Christian and relies on his faith to help get him through. 

I highly recommend this book, I enjoyed it very much!
