Among the terrifying reports from the hottest parts of the globe are the death, destruction and suffering of civilians. Volunteers come from all over the world to support the unequal struggle. Among them, an Englishman who goes to snipers, from whom he learns to kill the enemy with deadly precision.
One of the most engaging accounts of conflict with ISIS.
What made an ordinary Englishman without experience or even military training set off on a long journey to fight in one of the cruelest conflicts in the world?
"Desert Sniper" is an honest story of a man who decided to help people as a volunteer and with time became an experienced soldier, a sniper serving on the front lines of the fight against the worst demons of our time.
You can learn about the Englishman's fate in the war against ISIS thanks to Ed Nash's book "The Desert Sniper" , which has just been released by Rebis.
Ed Nash was working with refugees in Burma when he first heard about the crimes committed in Syria and Iraq in the name of the "caliphate" that had just been established. In July 2015, he risked a trip through northern Iraq and Syria to join Kurdish guerrillas trying to stem the advance of the Islamic State.
Nash penetratingly and eloquently paints the picture of this war:fierce fighting, the difficult service of Kurdish soldiers, misfortunes befalling the civilian population, the constant threat of bomb attacks. However, it also portrays the good and beautiful moments that happen between one slaughter and another.
