Overview

The battle to liberate Mosul from terrorists is not only the greatest human rights disaster of our time, it was also the most covered up and the longest in the making. This ground-breaking new biography is a head-on challenge to the received interpretation according to which terrorists were defeated because the Obama Administration had trained Iraqi forces, or, in the alternative, because the Administration had led or cemented the plan. The Hell of Hearts: To Mosul and Beyond traces the cataclysm to selected events that really mattered: the ghettos of muslim descent in 1980s Paris, the first incursion of what later defined itself as al-Qaida in Little Pakistan, Brooklyn, in the 1990s, and the refusal to enforce the laws as America embarked into the 21st. Century. At the end of a long trail of mistaken decisions, missing or altered information, and special interests, Mosul and anyone globally who was affected faced terrorism more or less on its own. This book uses eye witness accounts, legal filings, and U.S. government documents that have been underemphasized or on purpose ignored.

Author Information

Maria Kristofer is a Dutch-American writer and former human rights attorney. She defines herself as a writer on the gamut of war and conflict related expressions in contemporary society. The battle to liberate Mosul from terrorists (2015-2017) served as her most recent inspiration, to a significant extent because of her Eastern and Asian heritage. That cataclysmic human rights crisis teaches much about terrorism as a homegrown challenge and the responsibility of Western powers to combat and eradicate violence. Maria Kristofer served as managing editor for United Nations Reference Volumes on terrorism and human rights (Wolf Publishers, 2010-2011), and prior to 2015 as writer of numerous trade articles and white papers on, among other, Constitutional War Powers, immigration and national security, and foreign relations with the Middle East. She holds a Ph.D. in Politics from New York University (2009) and a J.D. from Northwestern California University School of Law (2012). She was a Visiting Fellow in Romance Languages and Literatures at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Science.
