[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3851682, member: 26737"] Thanks for the rec, but I've actually already read it. I'm currently working on [I]Terrorist Attack Girl[/I] by Meyli Chapin. She was in the hotel in Nairobi that was attacked by terrorists a few years back, and it's her story about not just the attack, but her resulting PTSD and recovery from it. The attack, from her perspective, is the through-line of the story, but it's interspersed with fragments of her life in the aftermath (as she calls it, ATA--After Terrorist Attack). FWIW, I'm actually listening to the Audible version, which is read by Meyli herself. Man, I'm not sure I could narrate the worst days of my life... You may remember the attack because of "Obi Wan Nairobi," Christian Craighead, an SAS operator who just happened to be shopping in Nairobi when the terrorists detonated the bombs at the start of the attack. Completely on his own, he ran back to his truck, grabbed his gear, and ran to the sound of the guns, successfully rescuing numerous hotel guests. Craghead has a book on the attack from his perspective, but apparently the UK's Ministry of Defence is harder to work with than the DoD, so it's still tied up in their review process (at least it was back when he talked to Evan Hafer on the BRCC podcast a few months ago), [/QUOTE]
