In February 2015, Tim Locks headed to Kurdistan to fight ISIS. After watching images of the Yazidi people being slaughtered, he couldnt sit back & do nothing. Having worked as a prison officer & a bouncer, he knew how to handle himself
- & had a huge protective streak. He sold his house to raise money, put himself through arms training & bought his equipment on e Bay.

In this gripping book he reveals what it is like to fight alongside the Kurds as well as British & American ex-military. He has cleared the enemy from occupied villages, come under mortar & small-arms fire, & witnessed the horrific atrocities committed by ISIS. He also describes how Wi Fi on the front line allows todays soldiers to communicate, how they always find time for selfies, even when under attack, & how the Kurds are so used to this way of life they stop mid-firefight to have a cup of chai & play Candy Crush while manning the mortars.

As cultures clash, & the bullets start flying, Tim shares his adventures with honesty & black humour.
