About the book:
A bracingly immediate memoir by a young man coming of age during the Syrian war, an intimate lens on the centurys bloodiest conflict, and a profound meditation on kinship, home, and freedom.
Illustrated with more than eighty ink drawings by Molly Crabapple that bring to life the beauty and chaos, Brothers of the Gun offers a ground-level reflection on the Syrian revolutionand how it bled into international catastrophe and global war. This is a story of pragmatism and idealism, impossible violence and repression, and, even in the midst of war, profound acts of courage, creativity, and hope.
