We Survived Iraq and Turkey A True Story of an Iraqi Kurdish Family's Escape to USA in 1990 Long Road to Freedom provides a compelling account of one family's quest for freedom, for escape from the brutal Saddam Hussein regime and the search for a better life in America. The book recounts Taha Muhammad's early life in Kirkuk, Iraq, and his experience in leading his wife and four sons through treacherous mountain country into Turkey, where the family encountered more oppression and discrimination at the hands of Turkish military and security forces. After surviving several life threatening events, and moving from one refugee camp to another, the family finally reached a US military base in the city of Zakho, Kurdistan of Iraq. From there they were able to eventually find asylum in the United States, where Taha was able to resume his teaching career and to provide opportunities for his sons-and security for his wife, Malika. Taha later served for almost four years as a translator, assisting US troops in Iraq. The book provides insights into the plight of Kurds throughout the Middle East, and it offers an inspirational account of a family's determination to find a better life. The story details the courage, bravery, and resolve that moved and sustained the family through daunting times; and it is truly a captivating and gripping version of a familiar American narrative-flight from tyranny and the pursuit of a new life in a new country.
