Australian photo-journalist Nigel Brennan, who was kidnapped in Somalia in 2008 along with a Canadian journalist, Amanda Lindhout, has just released his book "The Price of Life" about the experience.
At that time, the Australian Government wouldn't comment on the hostage case concerned that the public attention would ratchet up the ransom price.
Behind the scenes, Nigel Brennan's family were desperate - as they tried to find a way to negotiate - and raise money for the ransom.
It took 462 days to get both hostages released.
