Reseña del libro "Crossing The Tigress: An Iraqi woman must either trust the Americans or support the Insurgency. A story of desperation, betrayal and surviva (en Inglés)"
A thrilling story of desperation, betrayal and survival, Crossing the Tigress is a story about an Iraqi woman thrust into the horrendous circumstances created by war. In secret opposition to Saddam Hussein, yet far from trusting the coalition; Sahar is forced to either trust the Americans or support the insurgency. In her struggle to survive she comes to realize that she cannot rely on anyone but herself to keep her two daughters alive. Crossing the Tigress introduces Sahar as a high school student as she learns to cope with life under Saddam Hussein and the violence of the war between Iran and Iraq. By the time the American-led coalition invades Iraq in 2003, Sahar is married with two daughters. She works at the Ministry of Health (MOH) during the day and as a private practice dentist after hours. Disillusioned with the disappointing end of the Kuwait War and the effect of the UN sanctions on the common Iraqi population, she fears the arrival of the Americans. However, soon after they arrive, Sahar hesitantly develops a close professional relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Joe Brown, who is assigned as the Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) advisor to the director general of engineering for the MOH. Violence erupts all around them as the insurgency responds to the invasion and the CPA's decrees alienating the top levels of the Ba'ath party and disbanding the Iraqi Army. Torn between the pressure from Zaid, an influential Saddam loyalist and Joe, Sahar strives to find the safest path for her family. As her world spirals out of control, Sahar must fight like a tigress to protect the only things left in her life worth defending.
