Shells on the Sand

By Shaheryar Mian

Shells on the Sand chronicles a family's escape from Kuwait during the First Gulf War. Based on a true story that is fictionalized for dramatic effect, the novel takes its readers on a journey through a perilous region that maintains deep roots to our civilization. Readers will learn about the history of the Muslim Caliphate, Saladin and Richard the Lionheart, the Ottomans, Mongols, and Ancient Baghdad as the family journeys through the region in search for solace and refuge. Tales and events that significantly shaped our history and reverberate to this day will be told about a region many Westerners regard as tumultuous, but that maintains unparalleled diversity in history, science, and culture.
