Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor, was kidnapped by Iraqi insurgents on January 7, 2006.

During her 82 days in captivity, she was moved more than a dozen times, and had closer contact with Sunni mujahideen - including one who claimed to be the head of the insurgent council which included Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - than any American who has lived to tell the tale.

Don't miss the compelling story of Jill's survival, her escape plan, the life of the insurgents who held her captive, her highs and lows, and the details of her final release.

I am interested in receiving occasional announcements or advertising that the Monitor thinks would be of interest to me.
