118 days

Another book to recommend, although having to do with CPT, not Colombia. Christian Peacemaker Teams is publishing a book "118 Days: Christian Peacemaker Teams Held Hostage in Iraq", about the hostage crisis involving four CPTers in late 2005 and early 2006. The book includes reflections by the surviving hostages, but also talks about the experiences of CPT staff, friends and family who worked for their release while trying to maintain hope.

CPT is launching the book with a June 5th potluck in Chicago. See the 118 Days website for more information about the book.
