Only once in a lifetime does a war so brutal erupt. A war that becomes an official genocide, causes millions to run from their homes, compels the slaughtering of thousands in the most horrific of ways, and inspires terrorist attacks to transpire across the world.
That is the chilling legacy of the ISIS onslaught, and Only Cry for the Living takes a profoundly personal, unprecedented dive into one of the most brutal terrorist organizations in the world.
Journalist Hollie S. McKay offers a raw, on-the-ground journey chronicling the rise of ISIS in Iraq - exposing the group’s vast impact and how and why it sought to wage terror on civilians in a desperate attempt to create an antiquated “caliphate”.

She also does a great job with the performance of it. I’m training for a marathon right now, so I’m constantly looking for good books/podcasts to listen to. McKay is very easy to listen to!
Definitely recommend

Incredible, moving & heavy

McKay asks a question which persists as the main theme of the book: What is war? And she does not impose her own options or answers, rather she sits with those who are in war, impacted by war, and grieve the loss that war robs from them. On both sides…on all sides.
McKay gets dirty so we can sit safely in our homes and cafes and read about the prices paid by countless others. While on the other side of the world people just like us, who didn’t ask for war, fear their homes and cafes may end up in rubble; that they may become “aliens in their own land.” Must read.

Great work by Hollie McKay

A haunting account of depravity.
The receding has a pop of breath from where the mic was placed during the recording. It’s distracting at first and quickly overwhelmed by the story.
A haunting account of the existence of pure evil!

Missed the early rise of ISIS

As an example - her "what is war" conjunctive technique she tried to use to create pace through the work Palahniuk style was a nice idea.... but she way over used it making it feel contrived and distracting. also, the piece seems to be lacking any central theme other than "isn't war awful?" which while true is hardly helpful in gaining new insight or perspective.
it's unfortunate because the raw material is epic...I just think she's more reporter than author.
fabulous journalism - so-so storytelling
