"I have just started reading this powerful account of Passarlay’s yearlong journey as he fled Afghanistan with his brother. His firsthand account is a heart-wrenching insight into the plight of those forced to leave their homes and loved ones."

Book Rating
Since the beginning of this year, 2015, I have been researching British and American forces in order to write a realistic theatre production, that will be based in Afghanistan 2009.
2009 became known as the, "bloodiest year in Afghanistan," after seeing the death of 100 British Soldiers. During the past seven months, I have read a fair amount of life-stories based in Afghanistan/Iraq. A good narration allows for a good visual effect that takes place in ones mind. David Wiseman allowed me to do that. His descriptive voice allowed me to place myself in his situation. It was scary. It was very scary. Throughout his book I have; thought, visualised, learned, laughed, cried and, ultimately, became inspired by his strength and determination. You have my utmost respect!

I have rated this book 5/5. You don't need to wonder why. Just read it!

Movie Favorite

"This film dramatizes insurgency with choreographed chaos that feels like newsreel footage, though opening credits remind you it’s not. This film comments on the power of a righteous belief and speaks to the complexity of our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite having been made in 1966."
