Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: John McCarthy and Jill Morrell. Their own Story Some Other Rainbow. Summary: In April 1986, British television journalist John McCarthy was kidnapped in Beirut. He was held captive for more than five years, experiencing isolation, deprivation, uncertainty and psychological suffering. He was separated completely from his family, friends and, especially, his fiancée Jill Morrell. While John was imprisoned, Jill began a determined campaign to keep his case in the public eye. She and her supporters formed Friends of John McCarthy and worked tirelessly to pressure the authorities and maintain public attention on John and other British hostages. John did not know the full extent of Jill's efforts while he was captive. The book tells the story from both perspectives. John's chapters describe the frightening reality of captivity, loneliness, boredom, fear, changing perceptions of time and the struggle to maintain hope. Jill's chapters show the very different but equally painful experience of waiting at home, campaigning for his freedom and trying to carry on with life while not knowing what would happen. On 8 August 1991, John was finally released and returned to Britain, arriving at RAF Lyneham. His reunion with Jill represented the end of years of uncertainty, although returning to ordinary life after such a long captivity brought its own difficulties.

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£14.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 524pp, illustrated. On 17th April 1986 John McCarthy was kidnapped in Beirut. For the next five years he was cut off from everything and everybody he knew and loved, from family, friends, and, perhaps above all, from Jill Morrell, the girl he was going to marry. For five years, John McCarthy had to endure the deprivation, both physical and psychological, of captivity. The filth and squalor of the cells in which he was kept, the agony of isolation and repeated self examination and the pain of ignorance, of not knowing if those he loved even realized he was alive. For Jill Morrell, the five years of John's captivity were a different kind of hell. The initial shock and disbelief, the gradual acceptance that John had been taken and that her life had changed irrevocably, that all their plans had been shattered. But Jill refused to give up hope. For five years she and a group of friends worked ceaselessly on behalf of John and all British hostages in the Middle East, until the extraordinary day in August 1991 when John McCarthy stepped down from an aeroplane at RAF Lyneham. A day when they could begin again. This is their story, a remarkable account of courage, endurance, hope and love. Quite scarce signed. Jacket by David Secombe (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).…
