内容简介:
At the age of seventeen, Lewis Alsamari was con*ed into
Saddam Hussein’s army. The training was brutal, with discipline
enforced by regular beatings, and desertion punishable by
mutilation or imprisonment. Somehow Lewis made it through and,
thanks in part to his fluent English, was soon offered a post in
Iraqi military intelligence. The job would have made him powerful,
comfortably wealthy . . . and a cog in Saddam Hussein’s massive
machine of terror.
Unable to accept becoming a member of Saddam’s secret police, yet
knowing that turning down this “honor” would be considered
treasonous, Lewis made plans to flee Iraq. His escape was fraught
with peril–he was shot, detained at borders, even pursued by hungry
wolves across the desert–but the teenager made his way to Jordan,
then Malaysia, and finally to England, where he was granted
political asylum.
Lewis began building a life for himself, even falling in love and
getting married. But he was haunted by thoughts of the loved ones
he left behind in Iraq, his uncle’s words echoing in his ears: we
are sending you to freedom so that one day you may rescue us from
this place.
One day, shocking news arrived: because of his escape, Lewis’s
family–including his mother and sister–had been interrogated,
beaten, and thrown into prison. Frantic with guilt and worry, Lewis
was forced to steal the thousands of dollars he needed to buy their
release and smuggle them out of Iraq. Then, accompanied by his
wife, he embarked on a desperate journey in hope of bringing his
family to freedom.
Escape from Saddam is a powerful nonfiction thriller that,
even as it plunges the reader into a netherworld of crooked border
police, military checkpoints, counterfeiters, and smugglers,
provides a fascinating window into a totalitarian regime. It is
also a remarkably inspirational story of a resourceful young man
who refused to accept his fate . . . and then risked everything
he’d achieved to save his family.
