In this book, Mahmood tells his story with honesty and candor. He writes about the challenges he faced as a Muslim soldier, the discrimination he experienced, and the doubts he had about his own identity. But he also writes about the pride he felt in serving his country, the friendships he made with his fellow soldiers, and the profound experiences he had that changed his life forever.
