A harrowing account of Afghanistan''s notorious Pul-e-Charkhi prison, written by its longest-serving western inmate.
Former soldier Rob Langdon was working as a security contractor in Afghanistan when he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in a case that would have been ruled a clear miscarriage of justice in the British legal systemHis sentence was commuted to 20 years in jail, and he served his time in Kabul''s most notorious prison, Pul-e-Charkhi, described as the world''s worst place to be a westerner.
Rob was there for seven years, the longest sentence served by a westerner since the fall of the Taliban, and every one of those 2,500 days was an act of extraordinary survival in a jail filled with Afghanistan''s most dangerous extremists and murderersIn 2016 Robert was pardoned and returned to Australia. In this highly-anticipated book he will talk about his experiences for the first time.
