Beschreibung

A memoir from "a young Yazidi who served as a U.S. combat interpreter but was later forced to flee into the mountains of Iraq to avoid the ISIS slaughter of his people ... He became a valuable go-between, informing the U.S. military of the plight of the trapped Yazidis, [and] time and again ... risked his life, going into enemy territory disguised as an ISIS fighter to mount daring rescue operations. [He] saved over 1,000 civilians from ISIS, including hundreds of girls forced into sex slavery"--Publisher marketing.
