But before he can get there, he is robbed and abandoned on the Turkish side of the border. Fortunately for Haris, he is picked up by Amir, a charismatic revolutionary turned refugee. Amir's wife, Daphne, is a beautiful, grief-stricken woman who shares Haris's longing to make it into Syria--but for altogether different reasons. As he grows closer to the couple who rescued him, Haris must confront his own motivations and ask himself what kind of man--radical or idealist, hero or coward--he truly is.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElliot Ackerman, author of the critically acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eGreen on Blue, \u003c\/i\u003e has covered the Syrian Civil War since 2013.
