Summary
On Sunday, December 17, 2000, Canadian engineer William Sampson stepped out of his house in Riyadh only to be hauled into a car and beaten. Within an hour, he was incarcerated; within two months, he was tortured into a confession of responsibility for a wave of car bombings he did not commit. This is his account of how he survived two and a half years of torture, beatings, and inept diplomacy until he was finally released. Descriptions of sex, strong language and explicit descriptions of violence. 2005
