Book Review of Yasmeena's Choice: A True Story of War, Rape, Courage and Survival

Yasmeena's Choice: A True Story of War, Rape, Courage and Survival
reviewed on


The very best books that I have read in years is "Yasmeena's Choice"; Jean Sasson's latest book that was just published. The book is about Yasmeena, a lady that was kidnapped and viciously raped and forced into captivity by an Iraqi captain during the Gulf War with Kuwait in 1990. The book is fascinating and sad yet highly educational because nothing like this has ever been written before. Women in The Middle East do not share such intimate details as Yasmeena did because it goes against their customs. I am confident that Yasmeena's story will help others because it is so captivating.
