ShoShana Johnson, author of I’m Still Standing: From Captive Soldier to Free Citizen – My Journey Home
(Touchstone Books / Simon & Schuster)

In the earliest days of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003, the world was shaken by reports of a deadly ambush on a U.S. Army convoy on its way to Baghdad. The 507th Maintenance Company, a combat service support unit, was brutally attacked by a well-armed mob of civilians. Eleven people were killed; Shoshana Johnson, an army cook, and four others were captured and held prisoner for 22 days.

I’m Still Standing: From Captive Soldier to Free Citizen – My Journey Home is Johnson’s extraordinary chronicle of her captivity, while providing a revealing eyewitness account of her experiences as a POW. It is a rare view of one of the key incidents of the war in Iraq. Told with candor and insight, I’m Still Standing is Johnson’s deeply personal account of how she survived.
