Reviews
"Their tale is quite remarkable . . . a fascinating--and ultimately uplifting--exploration of cultures unknown to many." -- Kirkus Reviews, "This is a miracle tale--a vivid and wrenching story told by two soldiers who opposed each other on the battlefield, but through grace, courage, and an astonishing twist of fate, ultimately manage to save each other." -- Sara Corbett , author of A House In The Sky, "Insightful, factual and historical, but above all, an inspiring and moving human story which forces readers to examine the absurdity of war and which proves the triumph of compassion and humanity over aggression." -- Afschineh Latifi, author of Even After All This Time, "To understand the rage in the Middle East, history should be told by individuals who lived it. I, Who Did Not Die is gut-wrenching, essential, shocking, and beautifully told. It is a rare examination of the absurdity of a war fought by children and young men who were victims of the brutal dictators they were forced to serve. This powerful tale of two men whose lives collide on the battlefield shows that acts of mercy are the ultimate triumph of compassion over hate. Absolutely required reading!" -- Afschineh Latifi, author of Even After All This Time, "The words come alive like a movie, like being transported inside The Bridge on the River Kwai , Battle for Haditha , or Three Kings . Everyone, regardless of skin color, ethnicity, or religion, should read this book to vaccinate themselves against human ignorance, religious intolerance and political manipulation." -- Pierre Razoux , author of The Iran-Iraq War, "Their tale is quite remarkable . . . a fascinating--and ultimately uplifting--exploration of cultures unknown to many." -- Kirkus Reviews, "This is a miracle tale--a vivid and wrenching story told by two soldiers who opposed each other on the battlefield, but through grace, courage, and an astonishing twist of fate, ultimately manage to save each other." -- Sara Corbett , author of A House In The Sky, "The words come alive like a movie, like being transported inside The Bridge on the River Kwai , Battle for Haditha , or Three Kings .

Synopsis
A sweeping story of loss, redemption and fate that begins in 1982 during the bloody war between Iraq and Iran, when an Iranian child-soldier finds a young Iraqi soldier dying in a bunker and commits an astonishing act of bravery and kindness that changes the course of both their lives., An epic story of war, redemption and hope, My Enemy, My Brother tells the incredible story of two men - one from Iraq, the other from Iran - who were destined to be enemies, but instead found in each other mercy and kindness. Nearly 20 years later - after surviving war, torture, being held as POW and heartbreaking loss - the two men found themselves sitting beside each other. As the two men told one another the story of how they'd come to Vancouver and found their way to the waiting room where they sat, they realised their paths had crossed before., Khorramshahr, Iran, May 1982--It was the bloodiest battle of one of the most brutal wars of the twentieth century, and Najah, a twenty-nine-year-old wounded Iraqi conscript, was face to face with a thirteen-year-old Iranian child soldier who was ordered to kill him. Instead, the boy committed an astonishing act of mercy. It was an act that decades later would save his own life. This is a remarkable story. It is gut-wrenching, essential, and astonishing. It's a war story. A love story. A page-turner of vast moral dimensions. An eloquent and haunting act of witness to horrors beyond grimmest fiction, and a thing of towering beauty. More importantly, it is a story that must be told, and a richly textured view into an overlooked conflict and misunderstood region. This is the great untold story of the children and young men whose lives were sacrificed at the whim of vicious dictators and pointless, barbaric wars. Little has been written of the Iran-Iraq war, which was among the most brutal conflicts of the twentieth century, one fought with chemical weapons, ballistic missiles, and cadres of child soldiers. The numbers involved are staggering: --All told, it claimed 700,000 lives--200,000 Iraqis, and 500,000 Iranians. --Young men of military service age--eighteen and above in Iraq, fifteen and above in Iran--died in the greatest numbers. --80,000 Iranian child soldiers were killed, mostly between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. --The two countries spent a combined 1.1 trillion dollars fighting the war. Rarely does this kind of reportage succeed so power- fully as literature. More rarely still does such searingly brilliant literature--fit to stand beside Remarque, Hemingway, and O'Brien--emerge from behind "enemy" lines. But Zahed, a child, and Najah, a young restaurateur, are rare men--not just survivors, but masterful, wondrously gifted storytellers. Written with award-winning journalist Meredith May, this is literature of a very high order, set down with passion, urgency, and consummate skill. This story is an affirmation that, in the end, it is our humanity that transcends politics and borders and saves us all.
