The true story of a retired British army officer's private Somali-hostage rescue mission.

Somalia is a brutal, lawless country. It's a place where human life is cheap and tribal warlords are locked in a power struggle with Islamist guerillas and bands of surreal 21st-century pirates. Into this mix blunders Freeman, hoping to interview the pirates. This book tells how he was taken hostage by the pirates.

The book offers an illustrated exploration of an Australian Army Patrol along a historic military road in New Guinea, constructed by Army Engineers during World War II. It combines vivid descriptions of the region's history and geography, providing a unique perspective on the challenges faced by soldiers and the significance of the terrain in wartime operations.
