RESISTANCE IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE WITNESSES
Consisting of nine chapters, the book includes details of the historic resistance of YPG-YPJ fighters from September 13, 2014, when the gangs started their invasion attacks, until when AKP leader Erdogan announced his support for the gangs saying, “Kobanê is about to fall”.

CONTINUATION OF STALINGRAD AND SPAIN

‘A WORK OF COMMON SPIRIT’
The author of the book, Sefkan Kobanê, makes the following statements in the preface of the book about the legendary resistance that has resonated all over the world:
“It is the belief of humanity in freedom that creates the Kobanê epic. This epic is the work of a common spirit that breathes with Kobanê against cruelty, barbarism and inhumane methods wherever one lives. I tried to give a wide place to the testimonies about the lives of heroes fighting with the Apoist spirit.”
