The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State by Nadia Murad

5.0

This book is a must read. It is not a pleasant book but it is vitally important to remember what occurred in the fight against the Islamic State. Nadia's entire village, a Yazidi Christian community, was overrun by ISIS, with most of the men executed. Nadia was taken to Mosul and was forced to be be an ISIS slave. What is most disturbing is that people that lived in neighboring villages who were not Christian and were not targeted, did nothing. A reminder of what can happen when good people turn the other way and do nothing.

I read an advance copy and was not compensated.
