Brian Keenan became headline news in 1986 when he was kidnapped in Beirut  by fundamentalist Shi’ite militiamen and held for the next four and a half years.   For much of that time he was shut off from all news and contact with anyone except his guards.   He also suffered repeated torture.   Later he was to share a cell with other hostages, among them John McCarthy.  This is his story of how he survived, mentally, physically and spiritually.
