Mosul: Australia’s Secret War inside the ISIS caliphate

AUSTRALIAN MILITARY

Taking us from the suburbs of western Sydney and Australia’s military army bases, to the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, this is a remarkable book that reveals the as-yet untold story of the battle for Mosul and the secret involvement of Australians on both sides of the war – both our Commandos and Australian ISIS fighters. Mosul details the rise of ISIS influence in Australia, the Iran and Australia allegiance to fight Daesh and shows what led up to the battle and the ramifications that are still being felt at home – by our soldiers and the victims of that war.
