Kobane Calling Book Description
"For five months, the fanatical soldier-terrorists of the Islamic State laid siege to the Kurdish-held city of Koban, in northern Syria, before finally being turned back by the men and women of the Kurdish militias: the Peoples Protection Units (the YPG) and the Women's Protection Units (the YPJ). When an Italian cartoonist travels across Turke, Kurdish-held Iraq, and rebel-held Syria to document their struggle against ISIS, what he finds is anything but simple." - back cover.
