- The beekeeper : rescuing the stolen women of Iraq / by Mīkhāʼīl, Dunyā,1965-author,translator,interviewer.(CARDINAL)537283; Weiss, Max,1977-(CARDINAL)500180;
"Since 2014, Daesh (ISIS) has been brutalizing the Yazidi people of northern Iraq: sowing destruction, killing those who won't convert to Islam, and enslaving young girls and women. The Beekeeper, by the acclaimed poet and journalist Dunya Mikhail, tells the harrowing stories of several women who managed to escape the clutches of Daesh. Mikhail extensively interviews these women--who've lost their families and loved ones, who've been repeatedly sold, raped, psychologically tortured, and forced to manufacture chemical weapons--and as their tales unfold, an unlikely hero emerges: a beekeeper, who uses his knowledge of the local terrain, along with a wide network of transporters, helpers, and former cigarette smugglers, to bring these women, one by one, through the war-torn landscapes of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, back into safety. In the face of inhuman suffering, this powerful work of nonfiction offers a counterpoint to Daesh's genocidal extremism: hope, as ordinary people risk their lives to save those of others."-- ǂc Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Biographies.; IS (Organization); Abduction; Genocide; Women; Yezidis; Women.; Womyn.;

As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family. All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance they could not explain -- until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood to Washington and beyond. This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement.- Subjects: Farrow, Ronan, 1987-; Weinstein, Harvey, 1952-; Lauer, Matt, 1957-; Investigative reporting.; Espionage.; Sexual abuse victims; Sexual harassment; Sexual harassment of women.; Sex discrimination in employment.; Rape; Sex crimes; Women; Motion picture producers and directors; Motion picture actors and actresses; Sex customs; Sexual harassment.; Sexual assault.; Sexual violence.; Women.; Womyn.; Sexual practices.;
