Summary:
"In a story of deceit, betrayal, and injustice, two parents are tried as terrorists for attempting to rescue their son from a Syrian war zone. On September 2, 2014,
Jack
Letts, an idealistic eighteen-year-old British Canadian, phoned his mother saying, 'Mum, I'm in Syria.' Those chilling words from a raging war zone set in train his family's eight-year-long battle to rescue
Jack
from his disastrous mistake. When an unscrupulous journalist invented the term '
Jihadi
Jack
,' a false image of
Jack
spread throughout the world. Sally and John,
Jack
's parents, faced the mammoth task of persuading a hostile public that their son was the victim of a smear campaign. He should, they argued, at least be allowed home to face a fair trial to address the claims against him. But the Canadian and British governments had other plans.
Jack
is currently detained in a Kurdish prison, while the Canadian government claims it doesn't know if he is alive or dead. This is his parents' story of their painful struggle to persuade the world to save the son they love."--Publisher.
