can you re-upload the image? I want to read this book

I remember that , A few years ago I read a book written by an Iraqi PW who was in a camp in the north of Iran .

He wrote that , Saddam and his regime's leaders had forced all the youth to go to the battlefield and if people didn't accept the regime always killed their families and raped their wives , daughters and ...

In other part of the book he wrote that most of the Iraqi soldiers just fought or stood in the battlefield cos they had no other choice . Most of them didn't want to fight with their Muslim brothers in Iran and in other hand didn't want to be counted as betrayers by leaving the battlefield or giving up cos If they were counted as betrayers their families and relatives would have been killed by Saddam , He said , most of us ( Iraqi soldiers ) just prayed to be captured by Iranian forces cos in this condition we neither would have been counted as betrayers nor had to kill Iranians .

est of this book talked about how he was captured and Iranian people who didn't blame them as they knew what was going on in Iraq .

Anyone knows (good) books from personal POV of a soldier in the Iran-Iraq war, of either sides in English or Arabic of Persian. Whilst I won't be able to read last 2 due to bad Arabic reading skills I am still interested in knowing.

I don't mean a dramatic version of it, more like experiences of the war itself. None of us here are from that generation, our parents are but they often don't even want to share stories or talk about it, that's the thing in my case.

I dont know about arabic translation of this book but there is english version
