Books Published On Crisis
On March 23, 2007, one year after the release of the three hostages, Norman Kember published Hostage in Iraq. Published by Darton Longman and Todd, it told the story of his captivity and included previously unseen drawings and notes made by Norman Kember, who during his captivity invented games with his fellow captives.
On June 5, 2008, Christian Peacemaker Teams published a collection of essays by those involved in the crisis including Kember, Sooden and Loney. The book was initially self-published after two different religious publishing houses insisted on changes to a chapter written by Dan Hunt, Loney's same-sex partner. The book is now available from Cascadia Publishing House. It examines the events surrounding the captivity from multiple points of view, including CPTers who remained in Baghdad during the crisis; CPTers working on other teams (Palestine, Colombia, the Chicago and Toronto offices); friends, supporters and family members of the hostages.
Knopf Canada will publish a book written by James Loney in the spring of 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words books, published and/or crisis:
“Only in books the flat and final happens,
Only in dreams we meet and interlock....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Our fear that Communism might some day take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.”

“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
