Diane Foley, mother of slain American journalist James Foley, shares her harrowing experience of his captivity and execution by ISIS. The book details the agonizing years of his imprisonment, the relentless advocacy for his release, and Diane's journey of faith, empathy, redemption, and forgiveness.
Diane Foley’s story is as difficult to tell as it is to hear, yet the mother of slain American journalistfeels that both are necessary. Many will remember that James Foley was first captured by Muammar Gaddafi loyalists in Libya in 2011, and freed 44 days later; a harrowing experience that left one of his friends and colleagues dead.
He returned to the region in 2012, where he was again taken hostage, this time by ISIS terrorists in Syria. During his nearly two years in captivity there, James Foley was beaten and tortured, primarily by three British national-turned-ISIS-radicals, sometimes called “The Beatles” for their British accents.
In August of 2014, James Foley was beheaded. All the while Diane Foley advocated — first for the government to do more to locate and free James Foley and his fellow hostages, and later, for systems and protocols to release U.S. hostages and detainees.
