Summary
Details

On February 13, 2003, a plane carrying three American military contractors—Marc Gonsalves, Tom Howes, and Keith Stansell—crashed in the mountainous jungle of Colombia. Dazed and shaken, they awoke covered in blood with automatic rifles pointing at their faces. As of that moment they belonged to the Colombian terrorist organization known as the FARC, American captives in Colombia’s volatile conflict that has stretched over the last half century.

Now in Out of Captivity, Gonsalves, Howes, and Stansell recount their amazing tale of survival, friendship, and ultimately rescue in its entirety for the first time. Revealing the details of their crash, their horrific treatment at the hands of the FARC, what they witnessed as captives, and how they survived their experiences, this book provides vivid firsthand accounts of their five and half years in the jungle.

A story of life, death, survival, and the saving power of friendship—and a glimpse inside one of the world’s most notorious terrorist organizations—Out of Captivity is a remarkable look at the unbreakable bonds between friends and indomitable strength of the human spirit.
