This is a memoir that offers an insider look from an Iraqi citizen who organized a small group of people fighting against oppression by their own government. During the reign of Saddam Hussein, whose terrorist tactics against his own people left hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis dead, the courageous citizens group infiltrated Saddam's militia camps and government offices, found the unimaginable-documentation of "elimination" lists, which included entire families, detailed reports of torture, videos documenting the methodical rape and murder of young girls and women, and files that revealed a government that was frighteningly methodical and united in it's goal to tear apart families and destroy futures. He attended medical school and trained as a doctor by day, while by night, his life was an unfathomable tangle of espionage, kidnapping, treason and murder. Into the Night offers a rare look at a champion of the people who survived to write this book. Into the Night will appeal to anyone interested in world politics, the Gulf War, Middle Eastern politics and history, and Saddam Hussein-era Iraq (including students, Gulf War veterans, politicians, academics, and readers interested in history and Middle Eastern politics). However, the book also has a more general appeal: It is ultimately about loyalty, survival, family, and keeping the faith. It's about staying strong no matter what...and it's even about love.
