Description: "This is the Berenson's story, as told by her mother, a story that continues on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour basis. Wrenched from the quiet New York college classrooms where they both taught, Rhoda and Mark Berenson found themselves propelled into a world of sensitive politics, military courts, torture, corrupt prison commandants, terrorist insurgency and police reprisals.

Berenson vividly records her impressions and the real story behind this several year struggle: the anger, the sadness, the behind-the-scenes negotiations with politicians, and the unwavering dedication. Excerpts from Lori Berenson's letters, and Rhoda Berenson's insightful account bring the reader close into the fold of this family and their ordeal."--BOOK JACKET.
