Robert Fowler's book
Don't know what took me so long but I recently read Robert Fowler's book on their kidnapping ordeal in 2009. Reviewed here (with another book) and a fascinating read. Sketch map of their north Mali camp below
For the first time (in English) you get a compelling and detailed account of what it's like to be grabbed and kept in the Sahara for months.
I also happened to come across 2003 abductee Rainer Bracht's account summarised and archived on motorrad magazine's website in three parts ( starts here or see the bottom of the page linked above for translations). It was all happening early 10 years ago ( remember this thread...) but I never quite worked out where Group II went and how they got there until I read motorrad or clocked the top map below.
