|title=Kidnapped And Other Dispatches
|author=Alan Johnston
|reviewer=Jill Conor Murphy
|genre=Politics and Society
|summary=Johnston's style of understated reporting eschews polemic in favour of an attempt at understanding and it makes this collection of his dispatches and reflections on his kidnapping an interesting and, somehow, kindly read. Highly recommended, especially for those who want to read about world events, but at a more personal level.
