"They say truth is stranger than fiction. Asad Qureshi's account of his escape from the jaws of death certainly fits the bill. His journey into the heart of darkness, which resulted in the deaths of two of his colleagues, has all the ingredients of a Hollywood blockbuster betrayal, suspense, gripping action made all the more impressive by his honest, down-to-earth prose." --DR SAFEER AWAN, Rector National University of Modern Languages (NUML) Pakistan A thrilling first-hand account of barbarism at the hands of monsters...a masterpiece which reveals the ghastly nature of groups whose corruption of Islam is wreaking havoc across the world.
--TAHA COBURN-KUTAY, Business Executive "A powerful, absorbing memoir of a brave journalist lured into a terrorist trap. Accounts of captivity are not unfamiliar, yet Asad Qureshi has an iron grip on the reader's attention with a style that is so impressively raw it places this biography
head and shoulders above similar titles. His first book, this exceptionally realistic narrative is packed with emotion, giving the reader a crystal-clear picture of what its like to walk in the shoes of a human being with the constant threat of death
hanging over him. A five-star read."
--ÄJA MOSLEH, Television Producer Harrowing, gripping, frightening and ultimately redemptive, 165 Days Prisoner of the Taliban is a haunting tale of isolation that takes the reader on a searing, soul-searching journey into the heart of evil.
