The Embattled Innocence: Reflections of a Muslim Relief Worker

By Suleman Ahmer

Book Overview

The Embattled Innocence is Suleman Ahmer's recollection of experiences as a relief worker in Bosnia, Chechnya, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. Profoundly touching, deeply reflective, and intensely poignant at times, the essays bring to the fore the human experiences of suffering and surviving through devastating periods of history oft overlooked by distant observers. In his work, Ahmer does not only recount his experiences but assesses the hidden collateral damage of wars that can never be remedied. Ahmer's essays force the reader to examine their own conscience in reacting to the tragedy of war. He coaxes alive the 'human' part of a generally 'desensitized' global morality. 'The Embattled Innocence' packs an overwhelming dose of realization that it is by crippling the innocence and fraility of life in wars that humans in effect weaken their own generations to come.
