In July 2009, Rob was protecting a convoy when he shot and killed an Afghan guard during a heated argument after the guard drew a pistol on him. Rob's claim of self-defence was dismissed by a court in Kabul that refused to hear any of his evidence or call any of his witnesses, and he was sentenced to death in a matter of minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRob's death sentence was later changed to twenty years in jail, to be served in Afghanistan's most notorious prison, Pol-e-Charkhi, described as the world's worst place to be a westerner. Rob was there for seven years, and every one of those two thousand five hundred days was an act of survival in a jail run from the inside by the Taliban and filled with some of Afghanistan's most dangerous extremists and criminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, Rob was pardoned and released. \u003cem\u003eThe Seventh Circle\u003c\/em\u003e is his extraordinary account of what it took to stay alive and sane in almost unimaginable circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46846628823276,"sku":"9781760527433","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22661273482814.jpg?v=1758915936","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-seventh-circle-by-rob-langdon-9781760527433","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
