In 1978, Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison - better known as the Bangkok Hilton. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows, and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style.

As a young girl growing up in a strict ultra-Orthodox family, Dassi's life was preordained - marry young, live a devout life and raise children within the Adass community's religious rules. This righteous path would keep her safe from the immodest, secular world just a few blocks away in suburban Melbourne. But the Adass community was not safe for Dassi. She was fifteen when her revered school principal, Malka Leifer, started to single her out. Dassi's cloistered and harsh upbringing meant she didn't have the words for what was happening to her, but she knew it was very, very wrong.

Whether you know it as the ‘succulent Chinese meal’ video, or ‘democracy manifest’, chances are you have seen the video of baritone larrikin Jack Karlson getting arrested outside a Brisbane Chinese restaurant in 1991. The Guardian called it ‘perhaps the pre-eminent Australian meme of the last 10 years’. When Karlson called crime writer Mark Dapin out of the blue, though, Dapin hadn’t heard of him. But there was enough that intrigued him about this theatrical outlaw to continue the conversation. Over the following months emerged a dark and complex past.

I've done 10yrs at Goulburn
- By Anonymous User on 15-09-2021
Publisher's Summary
A harrowing account of Afghanistan's notorious Pul-e-Charkhi prison, written by its longest-serving Western inmate.
Former soldier Rob Langdon was working as a security contractor in Afghanistan when he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in a case that would have been ruled a clear miscarriage of justice in the British legal system. His sentence was commuted to 20 years in jail, and he served his time in Kabul's most notorious prison, Pul-e-Charkhi, described as the world's worst place to be a Westerner.
Rob was there for seven years, the longest sentence served by a Westerner since the fall of the Taliban, and every one of those 2,500 days was an act of extraordinary survival in a jail filled with Afghanistan's most dangerous extremists and murderers. In 2016, Robert was pardoned and returned to Australia. In this highly anticipated book, he talks about his experiences for the first time.

Unique story, no bullsh1t
Having served in Afghan, and retained some connections to that ancient and beautiful place, it never leaves me but the corruption and brutality of life there is beyond the comprehension of most people. Rob Langdon has done a great job of getting his unique and surreal experience across without any apology, fanfare or dramatic writing. It’s a book about a bloke who kills someone, with good reason, but he’s then plunged into hell by the Afghan system, and the fat westerners who have become part of the process. Nothing short of extraordinary. If you like very flowing and literary writing: not for you. If you like hearing true stories told straight up, swearing at all the places you’ll find it in any Aussie soldier; you won’t put it down. Best book I’ve read for ages

Love the book . I worked with Rob in the army, and knowing what he's like, I've been asked plenty of times by civi mates if I believe the story is true. I believe it 100%. He is capable of everything in the story and more. I wouldn't be surprised if he skipped the bits that are more exciting because they are to unbelievable. There are some awesome stories about his time in the army and I was lucky to witness a few of them

An Enlightening Book.
At first I thought this was a book written by someone who always thought they were right & were ready to fight anyone who didn't agree with them. I think that over time Rob has grown into a person who thinks before reacting & that has helped him become the person he is today. I take my hat off to him for having survived seven years in conditions that most people would not have been able to survive in. I wish him all the luck in the world.

Rob's story is absolutely remarkable. I'm sure he will hate the comparison, but it's not too dissimilar to Victor Frankils saga in WW2.
A solid representation of what the mind and then body can endure.
The narrator is easy to listen to for an Aussie.
