  • Praise for the Dawn Prayer
    PRAISE FOR THE DAWN PRAYER “Captured by al-Qaeda in Syria, Matt Schrier essentially played a long game of chess with them—and won. He escaped from their torture chambers and went on to write one of the most terrifying and suspense- ful books I’ve ever read. This is an absolutely extraordinary story.” —SEBASTIAN JUNGER, AUTHOR AND JOURNALIST “A tightly told story of brutal survival, unexpected friendships and ulti- mate escape . Matt’s engrossing story took me back to those days of struggle and survival and the desperate need for freedom.” —BILLY HAYES, AUTHOR OF MIDNIGHT EXPRESS “This gripping memoir tells the incredible story of American photog- rapher Matthew Schrier’s abduction from the battle-scarred streets of Aleppo by the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Jabhat al-Nusra. It’s a searing narrative of personal courage and the determination to survive. Schrier takes us inside the hellish world of secret Syrian prisons and his daring escape from his jihadist captors. He also paints a brutally frank portrait of the unexpected friendships and hostilities he formed with his fellow captives.” —PHILIP S. BALBONI, CEO AND CO-EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF DAILYCHATTER AND FOUNDER OF GLOBALPOST “The Dawn Prayer by Matthew Schrier is a thrilling documentary that reads like a novel. His account of being captured by al-Qaeda and held by some of the most savage and ruthless enemies of all, while being undermined and betrayed by one of his own, exhibits his for- titude, bravery, and cunning abilities to extend his life and someday hope to escape or be rescued.
