We could not have operated without these talented, selfless battlefield interpreters. They not only translated from the local language to English and vice versa, they also interpreted the context and situation on the ground for our young men and women on the frontlines of the fighting. What they did was truly invaluable, and this book conveys that very vividly.General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan; former Director of the CIA; co-author of the 'NY Times' bestselling book 'Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to UkraineThere are one in a million encounters in life where you meet people that you know are going to change the world or someone's outlook in life.

Our country needs future citizens like John to make our country, and his native land, better. As you read this book, approach it as if you are sitting on a colorful rug, surrounded and comforted by large pillows and drinking chai while you listen to John tell his story. He delivers his message the Afghan way, through a series of stories, just like history has been passed from generation to generation in Afghanistan. You can almost hear the words on the pages speak to you.-Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Magennis, U.S. Army.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Thousand Miles to Freedom is a gripping, deeply human true story of one young Afghan girl's impossible journey across mountains, borders, sea and war zones in pursuit of the freedom she was told she could never have. She was born into a world shaped by conflict, tradition, and the constant threat of violence, she grew up determined to carve a path beyond the limits placed on Afghan girls. From surviving abusive cultural norms to becoming a nurse through sheer resilience, her life is marked by extraordinary courage. But when she is forced into an intolerable arranged marriage, she makes a life-altering choice: putting an end to her life or-to run, alone, without telling a soul. If you've ever felt alone. if you've ever questioned your purpose. if the world has ever seemed too heavy, too cruel, or too hopeless-this story will change you. A Thousand Miles to Freedom is the unforgettable, unseen, and unimaginable journey of a young Afghan woman who once believed she had no reason to live. Trapped in brutality and stripped of choices, she dared to hold onto a spark of hope-and that spark carried her across continents. This book reveals what human resilience truly looks like. It shows how courage is born in darkness, how survival is forged in places most people will never see, and how one person's will can overcome a world determined to break them. Raw, inspiring, and deeply human, this is a story you must read-a story that will remind you why hope matters, why freedom is worth fighting for, and how far the human spirit can go when everything is on the line. What follows is a thousand-mile odyssey through the most dangerous corridors of the refugee trail. She faces smugglers, border raids, freezing nights, and moments where one wrong step could mean death. Yet with every checkpoint crossed and every prayer whispered into the dark, Kochai refuses to surrender her hope. Told with sensitivity and emotional depth by her brother, Nasirullah John Safi, this book pulls readers into the raw reality of displacement and the unbreakable spirit of those who risk everything for a chance at freedom. Kochai's journey is suspenseful, cinematic, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant-a testament to the strength of a girl who believed that a better life existed beyond the horizon. More than one woman's escape, A Thousand Miles to Freedom is the story of millions: the silenced, the displaced, the brave. It is a call to see the human faces behind today's refugee crises-those who run not for adventure, but for survival. Unforgettable and transformative, this is a story the world needs to hear.
