À propos de la quatrième de couverture

What makes an ordinary but highly educated Englishman, with no previous military training, decide to travel and fight in one of the most brutal conflicts on the planet?

Desert Sniper is an extraordinary, true account of one man's journey from well-meaning volunteer to battle-scarred combat sniper, placing himself daily in the line of fire to fight one of the greatest evils of this new century.

Ed Nash, who made the hazardous journey to Syria to join Kurdish forces trying to halt Daesh, shows us the realities of the war on the ground in Syria in fascinating detail; the privations of the ordinary soldiers, the terrible price paid by civilians caught in the cross-fire, the ever-present danger of lethal suicide bombers and occasional moments of striking beauty in amongst the carnage.

A modern classic in the making, Desert Sniper is one of the most unforgettable accounts to emerge from the war against ISIS.
