Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A Kurdish journalist who volunteered as a sniper in the fight against ISIS reveals his story in a "gripping memoir . . . elegantly told" (Publishers Weekly).In 2002, at age nineteen, Azad was conscripted into Iran's army and forced to fight his own people. Refusing to go to war against his fellow Kurds, he deserted and smuggled himself to the United Kingdom, where he was granted asylum, became a citizen, and learned English. But in 2014, having returned to the Middle East as a social worker in the wake of the Syrian civil war, Azad found he would have to pick up a weapon once again.After twenty-one days of intensive training as a sniper, Azad became one of seventeen volunteer marksmen deployed by the Kurdish army when ISIS besieged the city of Kobani in Rojava, the newly autonomous region of the Kurds. Here, he tells the inside story of the Kurdish forces' bloody street battles against the Islamic State. Vastly outnumbered, the Kurds would have to kill the jihadis one by one, and Azad takes us on a harrowing journey to reveal the sniper unit's essential role in ISIS's eventual defeat. Weaving the brutal events of war with personal and political reflection, he meditates on the incalculable price of victory--the permanent effects of war on the body and mind; the devastating death of six of his closest comrades; the loss of hundreds of volunteers in battle. But as Azad explains, these sacrifices saved not only a city but a people and their land."A propulsive memoir that captures the grim reality of small-scale conflict and reveals the fragmented politics of the Middle East today" (Kirkus Reviews), Long Shot tells how, against all odds, a few thousand men and women achieved the impossible and kept their dream of freedom alive.
