There is no doubt that Malika Oufkir and her family suffered inhumane treatment - but the telling of her story drips of arrogance and reeks of a spoiled little girl! Vietnam Veterans, locked up for decades, were not once offered the freedom to order coats, shoes, cloths, food - anyting they wanted. for the ENTIRIY of their imprisonment - for some, just as long as Ms. Oufkir & family. I got tired of hearing Malika claim that she was the brains and backbone of their survivial, as well... not to mention, she dwelled on her "imprisonment" and spent a mere paragraph hinting at her actual freedom. This book oozes "poor pitiful me", and I found it to be rather annoying.
