<p>One woman's fight to deliver peace and eliminate bloodshed in the midst of one of the most notorious conflicts of our time </p> <p>In the tradition of <em>Dear Zari</em> and <em>Barefoot in Baghdad</em>, Zen Under Fire lays bare the struggles of a war-torn region from a uniquely female perspective. Marianne Elliott must defuse situations before they lead to widespread bloodshed, despite the shattering effect that the high-stress environment has on her and her relationships—redefining the question of what it really means to do good in a country that is under siege from within. Zen Under Fire is an honest, moving, and at times terrifying true story of a woman's experience at peacekeeping in one of the most dangerous places on earth.</p>
