Alan Johnston is coming to Media Guardian on Friday this week for a live web chat on Organ Grinder. Click here to join us.
Johnston made headlines around the world when he was abducted in Gaza in March this year. The BBC foreign correspondent was seized just days before his three-year posting was due to end and spent four months in captivity.
He has spoken movingly of his ordeal - with compelling candour on the day of his release, then in harrowing detail in a Panorama special last month and again in a Guardian interview today. This Friday sees the publication of Kidnapped and Other Dispatches, a collection of some of his reports for Radio 4's From Our Own Correspondent, taking in his impressions of the Middle East, Afghanistan and Central Asia. The book also contains a new interview with him by the programme's editor, Tony Grant. Read an exclusive extract here.
We will try to answer as many of your questions as possible when Alan joins us on Friday.
