- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of newsroom stories and anyone after some adrenaline. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Shelve it next to Beast. More of a critics' pick than a crowd-pleaser: worth it if you like something a little different.

When ISIS took their homes, families and city, one group of men fought to take it all back. Based on true events, this is the story of the Nineveh SWAT team, a renegade police unit who waged a guerrilla operation against ISIS in a desperate struggle to save their home city of Mosul.
