Judit Neurink (pen name: Judit Antonia, 1957) reported on the rise and fall of terror group ISIS, while working as a correspondent in Iraq for Dutch and international media (2008-2019). She wrote ‘The war on ISIS’ and ‘Slaves wives and brides’, the latter about women caught up inside the Caliphate. Her book ‘Violence Recycled’ (2021) is a personal report of a decade in Iraq while it moved from war to peace and back again.
She wrote ten books, almost all about Iraq. Her latest two novels are about life inside the Caliphate in Iraq and Syria (The Good Terrorist), and about the search for a kidnapped child in war-time Iraq (A Devil's Child).

Update for Women of the Caliphate

In July 2017, the Islamic group ISIS was declared defeated in Iraq, and by the end of that month most of its territories in Iraq had been liberated.

For that reason it was time for an extensive update of my book The Women of the Read more of this blog post »
