Book Synopsis
The persecution of the church in Iraq is one of the great tragedies of the twenty-first century. In this short, yet sweeping account, Cardinal Filoni, the former Papal Nuncio to Iraq, shows us the people and the faith in the land of Abraham and Babylon. This is the compelling and rich history of the Christian communities in a land that was once the frontier between Rome and Persia.

Trade Review
“The cardinal’s work can be likened to a sort of Operation Truth. [He] tells the story of the local Christian communities of Mesopotamia, with historical precision and in a language that is accessible, from the apostolic teaching of Addai and Mari, disciples of St. Thomas the Apostle, to today’s suffering.” —La Stampa (Italy)
