Soldier Magazine's Book of the Month Fascinating... Incredibly
dangerous. The Times Gripping. Adrenalin fuelled true-life account
with all the makings of a military thriller. The action unfolds
like a Le Carre novel. Soldier Magazine 'Jihad isn't a war. It's an
objective. An aberration. If there are young women with children,
lost boys... If they are trapped in that hell and we can get them
out, don't we have a duty to do so? Every person we can bring back
is living proof that Islamic State is a failure.' Ex-British Army
soldier John Carney was running a close protection operation for
oil executives in Iraq when the family of a young Dutch woman asked
him to extract her from the collapsing 'Islamic State' in Syria.
Hearing first-hand about the naive young girls, many from the West,
who'd been tricked, sexually abused and enslaved by ISIS, he knew
only one thing - he had to get them out of that living hell. This
is the incredible true story of how - armed with AK-47s and 9mm
Glocks - Carney launched a daring, dangerous and deadly operation
to free as many of them as he could. From 2016 to 2019, he led his
small band of committed Kurdish freedom fighters into the heart of
the Syrian lead storm. Backed by humanitarian NGOs, and feeding
intel to MI6, Carney and his men went behind enemy lines to deliver
the women and their children to the authorities, to
deradicalization programmes and fair trials. Carney, a born
soldier, was moved to action by the women's terrifying stories. He
and his men risked their lives daily, not always making it safely
home... Gripping, shocking and thought-provoking, Operation Jihadi
Bride tackles the complex issue of the jihadi brides head on - an
essential read for our troubled times.
The Lilliput Press is proud to reissue this iconic view of
Dublin’s northside docks area in the 1980s, which comprises Ronan
Sheehan’s text and over 50 black and white photographs by Brendan
Walsh. Widely regarded as one of the finest studies of Dublin
during this period, The Heart Of The City was taught in UCD and
Trinity and to students of Urban Folklore. This edition features a
revised introduction by Sheriff Street-born writer and actor Peter
Sheridan. Dublin film-director John Carney (Bachelor’s Walk,
Once, Begin Again) writes a new foreword. More poignant still in
the aftermath of The Celtic Tiger, this is a remarkable portrait of
a people and city so badly affected by the catastrophic collapse of
employment on the docks in the 1960s and by irresponsible urban
planning

with all the makings of a military thriller. The action unfolds

with children trapped in that hell and we can get them out, don't
we have a duty to do so?' Hearing terrifying stories first-hand
from naive young girls who'd been tricked, abused and enslaved by
ISIS, ex-British Army soldier John Carney set up a high-risk
operation to rescue as many as he could. This is the breath-taking
true story of how he repeatedly led his men behind enemy lines into
the Syrian lead storm to liberate women and children, delivering
them to de-radicalization programmes and fair trials. Believing
that 'every person we can bring back is living proof that ISIS is a
failure', Carney tackles the complex issue of Jihadi Brides head
on, as he and his men endanger their lives, not always returning
safely home.
