Six Years With Al Qaeda: The Stephen McGown Story

While riding his motorbike through Mali, on his way home from London to Johannesburg, Stephen McGown was taken captive in Timbuktu by Al Qaeda. Life as he knew it changed in that instant. With nothing to bargain with and everything to lose, for the next six years Steve became reluctantly engaged in what he refers to as, the greatest chess game of my life.

Thousands of kilometers away in Johannesburg, the shock of his kidnapping hit his wife Cath and the rest of the McGown family. Working every option they could find from established diplomatic protocols to the murky back channels of the kidnap game they set to work on trying to free Steve.

To this day he holds the unenviable record of Al Qaedas longest held prisoner.

Six Years With Al Qaeda is not just an incredible story of mental strength, physical endurance and the resilience of the human spirit, but also a unique, nuanced perspective on one of the worlds most feared terrorist organizations. Not only did Steve survive his ordeal, but in many respects he came out of the desert both a changed man and a stronger, more positive human.

Genres: Africa, Biography, Memoir.
