1001 Nights In The Iraqi Army by Shant Kenderian

An Armenian-American's memoir of being stranded in Iraq and forcibly conscripted into Saddam Hussein’s army, recounting the surreal and often brutal experience of training and front-line service during the Iran–Iraq conflict, the camaraderie and cruelty among soldiers, the clash of identities and languages, and his efforts to survive and ultimately return to life in the United States.
