AHMAD'S
WAR AHMAD'S PEACE
One of the most stirring
narratives to emerge from the second Gulf War,
one that travels to the frontlines of battle,
into the home of an Iraqi Kurdish family, and
into the hearts of two journalists from different
cultures whose intimate friendship and mutual
passion for authentic freedom are an inspiration.
This book is the author’s moving tribute
to Ahmad Shawkat, the Iraqi Kurd who served as
his translator during “Major Combat Operations,”
a man whose life’s work under an oppressive
regime was to promote freedom of expression, a
man who was ultimately murdered during the American
occupation for his editorials criticizing Islamic
intolerance.
