A visceral, riveting, no-holds-barred military memoir told from the
front line of the war against ISIS with a foreword by Andy McNab.
In the summer of 2014 the world watched in horror as the black flag
of ISIS swept all before it. Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq
fell, ISIS proclaimed the caliphate and the horror mounted: from
the mass murder, rape and enslavement of the Yazidis to the public
beheading of journalists by British jihadis. For Macer Gifford it
wasn't enough to ask why more wasn't being done, he knew he had to
act. So, he left his job in the city, split from his girlfriend and
a few weeks later found himself illegally crossing the border into
Syria to join the Kurdish YPG in their fight against the savagery
of ISIS. Macer Gifford became one of longest serving British
International Volunteers and one of the only few to be promoted to
be a Commander in the YPG. He fought alongside the Kurds (and their
Syrian Allies) for three long tours of duty from the dawn of the
caliphate all the way to its military defeat in the ruins of Raqqa
in 2017, sniping at the final deadly wave of suicide bombers as
they burst from the rubble. Along the way, he made - and lost -
many friends. This is the only complete account of the war against
the Caliphate by the Kurds and the remarkable and often eccentric
band of international volunteers who fought alongside them.
