'A raw, gripping and profoundly moving book. Between the Devil and
the Deep Blue Sea tells the extraordinary story of Somalia's
forgotten hostages, the pirates who tortured them for years, and
the quietly heroic Britons who refused to give up on them.' -
Andrew Harding, author of These Are Not Gentle People and The Mayor
of Mogadishu
'A thoroughly good read.' - Michael Portillo, author of Portillo's
Hidden History of Britain and presenter of Great British Railway
Journeys
'John Steed has led an exemplary retirement as a uniquely skilled
volunteer, helping to free the seafarer hostages of Somali pirates
who some governments wanted to forget. Colin Freeman's book about
him is both wonderful and long overdue.' - Michael Scott Moore,
author of The Desert and the Sea
'A MUST READ book ... 5 stars, highly recommended!' - Jordan Wylie,
adventurer and author of Citadel: The true story of one man's war
against the pirates of Somalia.
'A compelling story of courage, determination and skill. If any
book shows that hostage negotiation is not for the faint hearted
this is it.' - Terry Waite CBE, author of Taken on Trust
