| Summary | Annotation In December 2011, the Australian world traveller, ex-member of the Australian Regular Army and university teacher Warren Richard Rodwell was kidnapped for ransom in the Philippines by a group of criminals claiming to be members of the Abu Sayyaf Group. Rodwell was kept prisoner for 472 days, making him the longest held Australian captive outside of official POWs. During his 472 days of captivity he was moved between various jungle hideouts, eventually being freed by his captors only a few kilometres from where he was originally kidnapped. His tale of survival is made all the more remarkable considering he endured an untreated gunshot wound and an almost starvation diet, losing over one third of his body weight and being forced to walk and climb in oppressive heat and under constant threat of being beheaded. |
