His life derails. In-between odd jobs he is frequently on the run. At a very early age, he joins the Kurdish guerrilla. When he is eighteen, he is hit by a phosphor bomb. Only because he is admitted into a London hospital Zaher survives his severe burns. In 1976 he ends up in the Netherlands as a refugee. Will Zaher Mahmud be able to pick up his life again or will the ideas and spectres from his youth continue to hunt him? Over de auteur Zaher Mahmud "I was born in Kurdish Iraq (1956 Sulaimania). I have been living as a refugee in Amsterdam, the Netherlands since 1976. My life as a an eleven year old outcast, a Kurdish guerrilla, and a war casualty scarred by a phosphor bomb has often been noted down by others mostly for political purposes. With this book I myself take control. I describe my life stripped of any political frills. Hard and shocking, sometimes interrupted by moments of hope, ideals and humanity."
