Lost to the world : a memoir of faith, family, and five years in terrorist captivity
(Book)

"Shahbaz Taseer's memoir of his experience leading up to and throughout his kidnapping by Islamic extremists, one of Pakistan's highest-profile kidnapping incidents"--,Provided by publisher.

"In late August 2011, Shahbaz Taseer was driving to his office in Lahore when he was dragged from his car at gunpoint and kidnapped by members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a Taliban-affiliated Uzbek terrorist group. Shahbaz's father, the late Pakistani governor, had recently been assassinated. His crime: speaking in support of a Christian woman who had been accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death. Though Taseer himself wasn't much interested in politics, he was somewhat of a public figure, and he represented a more tolerant, internationally connected Pakistan that the IMU despised. What followed was nearly five years of torture and harrowing danger while Taseer was held captive, his fate determined by the infighting of the IMU, the Taliban, and ISIS. Lost to the World is his memoir of that time--a story of extraordinary sorrow but also of goodness and faith." -- Amazon.com.
