Only the stakes are immeasurably greater. This is a harrowing account of the sorrow and destruction left in the wake of the Islamic State.

"Please don't bomb here. More than half of the items are on loan. Thank you." The next post was a photo of Mutanabbi Street in Bagdad - books were laid out on the floor after it's reconstruction. Some years ago, a car bomb exploded, scattering books and bodies, and damaging cafes all along the street. We probably needed to put up a sign that said, "Please don't bomb here. There are still books to read".
"Those buses were sold to Saudi Arabia. Some of the girls were used for service, others would be sold for their organs and body parts."

This book tells the true stories of people that have been kidnapped and escaped from Daesh (Islamic state) being rescued by the Beekeeper in the title.
These stories show the worst and best of humanity. I'm also shocked at how little I knew about this especially as it's happening now. This will definitely stay with me and it would be almost impossible for someone not to be horrified and moved by this book.
My only minor point for improvement would be perhaps a map of the routes taken as I'm not familiar with the geography.
