In April 1988, British television journalist John McCarthy was kidnapped in Beirut, and he was to remain a hostage for the next five years. During that time he was cut off from family, friends and from Jill Morrell, the girl he was going to marry. For her, John's captivity was a different kind of hell. This is their story, a remarkable picture of courage, hope and love.
John McCarthy was an American computer scientist and cognitive scientist. He was one of the founders of the discipline of artificial intelligence, and part of just a small group of artificial intelligence researchers in the 1950s and 1960s. He co-authored the proposal for the Dartmouth workshop which coined the term "artificial intelligence" (AI), led the development of the symbolic programming language family Lisp and had a large influence in the language ALGOL, popularized time-sharing, and created garbage collection.
