Viac o knihe

The narrative centers on the intense battle for Kobani, Syria, where a coalition of Kurdish forces and Free Syrian Army fighters stood against the Islamic State group in 2014. Despite initial U.S. indifference, the resilience of the defenders and strategic air support led to a significant victory, culminating in the retreat of IS fighters in January 2015. The book features powerful photographs and firsthand accounts from Associated Press journalists, illustrating how Kobani became a symbol of resistance and proof that the Islamic State can be defeated.
