Gary’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for They Will Have to Die Now: Mosul and the Fall of the Caliphate
They Will Have to Die Now: Mosul and the Fall of the Caliphate by James Verini
4 highlights
The Iraqi philosophy, stated often, was: people die in war. That’s what war is for. Anyone not ready to die shouldn’t be here.
