Kidnapped by Hezbollah Freed by Purpose
A True Story of Travel, Turmoil and Triumph
The book begins with an account of a deeply transformative journey to Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Kaushik finds himself immersed in the beauty and hardships of the people and places he encounters. The Middle East becomes a crucible for self-reflection, challenging preconceived notions about life, resilience, and purpose.
The journey’s climax unfolds in Lebanon with a harrowing encounter: Kaushik and his wife are taken hostage by Hezbollah. Hours of questioning blur the lines between fear and clarity, stripped of control, they are forced to confront life’s fragility head-on.
After 14 hours of interrogation, they are freed. Kidnapped by Hezbollah is a powerful testament to resilience, reinvention, and the courage to embrace uncertainty. It challenges readers to redefine success and pursue lives of deeper meaning, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected moments shape our greatest transformations.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
