Mindy Belz, reporting on the ground from the Middle East, employs a direct journalistic style to examine the persecution of Christian groups in the Middle East by ISIS forces, which culminated after the 2003 Iraq war. She structures her account and testimonies in chronological order, as a journalist in a war zone and provides details for the brutalization and annihilation of Christians through memories and discussions with the locals in Syria and Iraq. Albeit from the point of view of a journalist, the stories of the author that are included in the book offer significant details into the purge of communities and the complex dynamic that were developing in the region.
