Summary
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 system. His 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 murderers. In 2016 Robert was pardoned and returned to Australia. In this highly anticipated audiobook, he talks about his experiences for the first time.

a brilliant story
I really enjoyed the story, good background to set up the tragic events that land him a shit hole of a jail, not to much detail of the prison just enough to make you realize that you never want to be stuck in there. 7 years was a long time to survive in such a corrupt system which shows his strength.

Astounding
Easy to follow, hard to put down. For anyone moaning about the Covid lockdown, listen to this.

A book to shatter illusions
If you read this book be prepared to find that everything you might have believed about anything is utterly wrong. It’s shocking, harrowingin its way and honest so far as i can judge from what’s written here. However, certain western nations are not painted in a ood light so if you want to remain patriotic and safe then don’t read this book. if you want to see the world as it truly is and recognize that man can still be a cesspit to his own kind well then, go ahead and read it. You won’t be disappointed.

Unimpressed
Having read a few of these banged up abroad type books I've got to say this story isn't that impressive. The back story involving his military life is interesting but his time inside seems pretty uneventful and the jail itself doesn't come across remotely as hellish as the Bolivian one in Marching Powder for instance.
