They were followed by sinister canisters
falling to the ground, bringing fear and death. It was 1987, and Saddam
Hussein had ordered his cousin 'Chemical Ali' to bombard Joanna's
village, Bergalou, with chemical weapons. Temporarily blinded in the
attack, Joanna was rescued by her husband, a Kurdish freedom fighter.
After being caught in another bombardment and left for dead in the
rubble, they managed to flee over the mountains in a harrowing escape.
Now living in the UK and working for British Airways, Joanna has told
the story of her eventful life to Jean Sasson, the bestselling
chronicler of oppressed women's lives in the Princess trilogy and
Mayada. "Love in a Torn Land" is published while the world watches the
trial of the notorious 'Chemical Ali', Saddam Hussein's most
bloodthirsty henchman, for crimes including the genocide of the Kurdish
people.
