‘Girl with a Gun is by far one of the most empowering and inspiring books I’ve picked up. I don’t want it to finish and I’m so scared I’m nearing the end. I want to keep imagining the beautiful sceneries described, feel my heart racing at the exhilarating moments of strength, passion and power. For a Kurdish girl like me, this book is everything I ever needed growing up. Even now, Diana is an icon, a hero.’

'One of the best books I have ever read. Everyone should read this book.'

'This story will bring you into its spell from the very start. There's the admiration you'll feel for Diana Nammi who tells how she came to join the peshmerga soldiers to defend Kurdistan, her country, her people from the ravages of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in the late 70s - as we, in the west, were playing at being revolutionary. You'll be inspired by Diana Nammi's commitment to make women's lives better - there as well as in the West: when she moved to the UK in 1995, true to her political and humanitarian beliefs, she founded the Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation, an organisation that does so much to help women at risk of 'honour' killing live safer lives. A book that will make you believe there is a better world out there and women like Diana Nammi work to bring it about.'
