As far as the author's family were concerned, he'd gone to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban to market low-cost modular housing. The truth was much more complicated. In fact, he, a former soldier, had been recruited by British Intelligence to secretly buy back weapons systems which had been delivered to the Mujahideen during their struggle against the Soviets. But then in February 2003, it all went terribly wrong. Concerned for his own security, the author made preparations to leave the country. He was packing his bags when 2 armed Afghans showed up at his hotel room. He agreed to a final meeting, but by the time it had finished both Afghans were dead and the author himself was seriously wounded. In this book, the author reveals the truth about what happened in the Intercontinental Hotel that night and how he spent nearly a year in a stinking Afghan jail, being beaten and tortured, before his release was finally negotiated.

As far as Colin Berry's family was concerned, he'd gone to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban to market low-cost modular housing; but the truth was much more complicated. Berry, a former soldier, had been recruited by British intelligence to secretly buy back weapons systems which had been delivered to the Mujahideen during their struggle against the Soviets. Giving riveting insight into the covert world of intelligence, Berry reveals his involvement in reconnaissance missions to remote mountain villages where he was able to see firsthand the ravaging effects of decades of warfare. The story culminates in a hotel room shootout that left two Afghans wounded, and Berry himself seriously wounded. He finally reveals the truth about what happened in the Intercontinental Hotel that night, as well as how he spent nearly a year in a stinking Afghan jail.
