When thirty-three-year-old Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief made the
decision to risk his life and his family to save Private First
Class Jessica Lynch -- an American soldier he did not know -- it
was more than the everyday reckoning with death that permeates
wartime. It was the culmination of a life spent at odds with the
repressive regime that held his country.
Mohammed's story is a coming of age tale in a society where
violence and betrayal were everyday events, where one in five adult
males worked for the state's security apparatus, where a
president-for-life demanded absolute loyalty and adulation. Yet
even as he navigates a culture tarnished by brutality and
corruption, Mohammed reveals unexpected sides of Iraq -- scenes of
surprising tenderness and stubborn generosity -- and emerges as an
unlikely hero whose values transcend ideology: honor, compassion,
and an unshakable belief in the sanctity of human life.
