About the Book
In A.D.1914, in the early months of World War I, the British mounted an invasion of Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq, with a contingent of Anglo-colonial Indian troops. The purpose of this invasion was to divide and engage the Turks—in league with Germany and Austria, who were fighting the Russians, allies of Great Britain and France—in the Caucasian mountain region of Kurdistan. The present narrative, woven into the background tapestry of historical facts, describes what could have been the action and involvement of young Assyrians in this tragic maelstrom of death, desire, and destruction that ravaged their homeland.
