The Contractor

How I Landed in a Pakistani Prison and Ignited a Diplomatic Crisis

De: Raymond Davis, Storms Reback

Narrado por: Rob Shapiro

A lot has been written about the time contractor Raymond Davis spent in a Pakistani jail in 2011. Unfortunately, much of it is misleading—or downright false—information.

Now, the man at the center of the controversy tells his side of the story for the very first time. In The Contractor: How I Landed in a Pakistani Prison and Ignited a Diplomatic Crisis, Davis offers an up-close and personal look at the 2011 incident in Lahore, Pakistan, that led to his imprisonment and the events that took place as diplomats on both sides of the bargaining table scrambled to get him out.

How did a routine drive turn into front-page news? Davis dissects the incident before taking readers on the same journey he endured while trapped in the Kafkaesque Pakistani legal system. As a veteran security contractor, Davis had come to terms with the prospect of dying long before the January 27, 2011 shooting, but nothing could prepare him for being a political pawn in a game with the highest stakes imaginable.

An eye-opening memoir, The Contractor takes the veil off Raymond Davis's story and offers a sober reflection on the true cost of the War on Terror.

Captivating and brilliant!

Read and or listen to a lot of books. This is one of my favorites that I have listened to in a long time. I’m about to start it all over again. I appreciate this Guy and his service to our country. I really do. I appreciate the book. it’s nice to get a firsthand perspective on this matter because all I have ever gotten her twisted narratives. If you have a person who was not there who says one thing and a person who was there and says another common sense that you take the word of the person who was there America 2026 Jesus Christ is still King.
