A Private Family Matter
Captain Herve Jaubert breaks his silence in this explosive true story of Princess Latifa with stunning revelations. Princess Latifa had planned to escape from the Maktoums’ stranglehold for her whole life. She knew the risk of running for freedom. She would have died trying rather than live in submission. When she escaped from Dubai on February 24, 2018, with the help of former French spy Herve Jaubert, Sheikh Mohammed launched a military attack against a US private yacht never seen in maritime history. Latifa is no ordinary princess; she is a tigress; she fought to scream, bite, and kick the Indian commandos who stormed the American yacht where she had taken refuge. They kidnapped her wit...

Soft Weapons
Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran,Marjane Satrapi’s comics, and “Baghdad Blogger” Salam Pax’s Internet diary are just a few examples of the new face of autobiography in an age of migration, globalization, and terror. But while autobiography and other genres of life writing can help us attend to people whose experiences are frequently unseen and unheard, life narratives can also be easily co-opted into propaganda. In Soft Weapons, Gillian Whitlock explores the dynamism and ubiquity of contemporary life writing about the Middle East and shows how these works have been packaged, promoted, and enlisted in Western controversies. Considering recent autoethnographies of Afghan women,...
