“A harrowing look inside war that explores the experiences and psychology of the perpetrators, innocents, victims, and heroes. This account is not written by some safe and distant theorist, but by someone who was actually there. Read it. Remember it.” Jocko Willink, retired Navy SEAL and multiple New York Times best-selling author

Journalist Hollie S. McKay offers a raw, on-the-ground journey chronicling the rise of ISIS in Iraq—exposing the group’s vast impact, and how and why it sought to wage terror on civilians in a desperate attempt to create an antiquated “caliphate.”

Through her detailed and intense writing, Hollie brings us onto the battlefield with her. We can feel the impact of explosions. We can hear sniper rounds being fired. We can see the rubbled buildings and war-torn streets. We can smell blood, fire and death.

She lets us listen in on her conversations. We talk with ISIS sympathizers who murdered on behalf of their twisted caliphate. Hollie introduces us to the vile miscreants that traveled from first-world countries to fight for this wretched nightmare of a state controlled by Islamic extremists. Hollie allows us to see the difference between those who willing volunteer as ISIS fighters and people––such as a fourteen-year-old child soldier––indoctrinated and brainwashed into doing ISIS’s sinister bidding on the battlefield. Through her interviews, we see the face of evil.

But Hollie also introduces us to heroes. We meet the soldiers that take the fight to the enemy, including the “Black Devils,” a name given by the opposition, who ruthlessly hunted down and killed ISIS fighters. Perhaps serving an even worse fate to ISIS are the female Kurdish soldiers who hunt and kill insurgents. Their efforts deliver the insult of an afterlife without paradise for the fanatical enemy fighters, who believe death at the hands of a woman precludes them from that so-called paradise.

Don’t just read this book. Remember it.
