When a Simple Research Trip Becomes a 977-Day Nightmare
A journalist boards a plane to Somalia, notebook in hand, chasing a story about modern-day pirates. He never imagines he'll become part of that story-chained, starving, watching the same desert horizon for nearly three years. Michael Scott Moore's journey into hell began with intellectual curiosity and ended with a profound understanding of human endurance, moral complexity, and the thin line between civilization and chaos. His captivity wasn't just a survival story-it became an unprecedented window into the psychology of hostages and captors alike, a meditation on faith and forgiveness, and a stark reminder that sometimes the most dangerous thing we can do is believe we understand a place we've only studied from afar.
