There, the fight against the Islamic State is a proxy war, an existential battle, a declaration of faith, and, for some, a passing weekend affair. After weeks spent dodging RPGs, witnessing acts of savagery and stupidity, Saleh returns to his civilian life of Tehran bookstore readings and trendy art openings and finds it to be an unbearably dislocating experience. An unprecedented glimpse into the fight against the Islamic State from a Middle Eastern perspective, Out of Mesopotamia gives agency to the voiceless while offering a meditation on war that is moving, humane, darkly funny, and resonantly true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617758607\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 6.5 Inches, Length: 5.5 Inches, Weight: 0.7 Pounds, Width: 0.75 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salar Abdoh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801801253171,"sku":"9781617758607","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27348303482763.jpg?v=1785981111","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/out-of-mesopotamia","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
