The town of Tilkepe is 10 kilometers north of Mosul, Iraq. This book contains original research done by Fr. Michael, using sources now unavailable. Bazzi, a Tilkepe native, originally published his historical research in Arabic in 1969. The story of Tilkepe is more relevant than ever given the current persecution suffered by the people of this city. This new, hardback, English edition contains a new foreword by the author about Tilkepe's current state.
