Lightbulb Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Islamic State Group: Battle for Kobani [Journalism]

Defeating the Islamic State Group: The Battle for Kobani by The Associated Press is a retrospective compilation of the noted news agency's coverage of the titular recent military event in Syria (Wikipedia), free courtesy of publisher Mango Media's AP Books imprint.

This is AP's current featured book, and is being offered free to promote their line of other such notable news event compilations (couponable @ Kobo, incidentally).

Currently free @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes (neither available to Canadians), and might also possibly be free in certain regions at other venues listed on the publisher's catalogue page.

Description
In September 2014, Islamic State group fighters captured about 300 Kurdish villages near Kobani, Syria, and then thrust into the town itself, occupying almost half of it and sending tens of thousands of refugees fleeing into Turkey. Unsure if Kobani would hold, U.S. officials including Secretary of State John Kerry spent weeks saying the town wasn't a U.S. priority.

But, a small makeshift coalition of Kurdish Peshmerga forces from Iraq, Kobani Kurds (including Kurdish women fighters) and combatants from the Free Syrian Army refused to give in to the Islamic State militants. Under a steady pounding from U.S. – led air power and the tenacity of the Kobani defenders, IS was forced to retreat in January 2015, leaving over 1,000 of its best fighters dead.

Follow the weeks of fighting through the photos and stories of Associated Press journalists, as Kobani became proof that the Islamic State group can be defeated.
