◆ 中東戰爭前線真實報導：針對科巴尼攻城戰最細膩寫實的報導，更深層理解戰雲密布的中東戰火實況。◆ 戰爭下的性別議題反思：投入戰鬥的庫德族女兵，挑戰的不僅是奴役女性的敵人ISIS，也是長期的政治與社會體制，這是一場軍事壯舉，也是女性革命與政治運動。◆ 《紐約時報》暢銷書，知名演員、社運人士安潔莉娜．裘莉大力推薦！震撼ISIS的女兵，一場戰爭前線的女性革命！這故事意義重大，其重要性絕不亞於敘利亞內戰。二○一四年，東北敘利亞，可能是最不會想到會發生女權革命的所在。但那一年，一支全女性民兵在一個鮮為人知的小城鎮科巴尼，與伊斯蘭國奮力對峙。當時，敘利亞內戰烽火連天，伊斯蘭國橫掃大片江山，攻城掠地，散播恐怖。一場看似不可能的科巴尼之戰，出現一支女子戰鬥部隊，在整個北敘利亞對抗伊斯蘭國。一路下來，這些婦女散播她們的政治願景，決心實現女性平等，與買賣女人的敵人逐屋、逐街、逐城戰鬥。這本書裡的故事都是真人真事，作者蓋兒．雷蒙花費三年時間，在三個國家所做的調查及訪問，包括二○一七至二○二○年在敘利亞東北部的採訪報導，以及在全美各地及伊拉克北部所做的一百多個小時的專訪。這些在前線作戰的庫德族女兵，她們意志堅決，不僅要消除伊斯蘭國的恐怖，更要證明女性也可以領導作戰，而且應該享有爭取和平的平等權利。報導力道萬鈞，行文氣勢奔騰，本書寫活了一群婦女：不僅要在戰場上擊敗伊斯蘭國，而且要改變自己中東那一角之地及其周邊女性的人生。※舊版書名：庫德族女兵美國首屈一指的記者，冒著生命危險，調查了我們這個時代堪稱最重要的課題：女性的覺醒，以及一個真正人人平等的社會的建立。忠實記錄一小群婦女與伊斯蘭國作殊死戰的奮鬥史，作者把女性的領導對社會所作的貢獻展示無遺。讀來嘆為觀止。——賽巴斯提安．榮格（Sebastian Junger），Tribe and War作者婦女臨陣當先，對抗伊斯蘭國，故事不凡，令人汗顏。——安潔莉娜・裘莉（Angelina Jolie），演員、導演、社運人士精彩萬分，引人入勝，欲知戰爭之高貴與殘酷者，《庫德族女兵》必讀。此書允為現代戰爭最扣人心弦的故事。——威廉．麥克雷文（Adm.
