It was the culmination of a life spent at odds with the repressive regime that held his country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMohammed's story is a coming of age tale in a society where violence and betrayal were everyday events, where one in five adult males worked for the state's security apparatus, where a president-for-life demanded absolute loyalty and adulation. Yet even as he navigates a culture tarnished by brutality and corruption, Mohammed reveals unexpected sides of Iraq -- scenes of surprising tenderness and stubborn generosity -- and emerges as an unlikely hero whose values transcend ideology: honor, compassion, and an unshakable belief in the sanctity of human life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43368044232959,"sku":"9780060724405","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780060724405_s600x595.jpg?v=1779893674","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780060724405","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
