Welcome to this Bonus chapter of the Book Club podcast. This interview was first broadcast 19th February 2019 on LBC. Iain speaks to Macer Gifford, a former currency trader who travelled to Syria to fight with the Kurdish YPG militia against the Islamic State group. This is one of the most fascinating interviews you're likely to hear and we just had to share it with you. This podcast may not be directly about a book but we wouldn't be surprised if this story isn't turned into one in the coming years!

If you enjoyed this podcast, why not listen to For The Many, Iain's political (and funny!) podcast with Jacqui Smith.
