About this listen

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.

This book gives you a great insight into situations most will never find ourselves in. Engrossing read from start to finish.

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.

a brilliant story

Good dude, writes about what it means to be a soldier, a fighter and a CPO on ops with a number of different PSC. Was gutted to hear about Dinks from Olive I had no clue and realiving Stephs incident in Iraq was chilling RIP Viking!

You survived, good effort man!

Honest, engaging and what a story!
