In 2002, at the age of nineteen, Azad, a young Kurdish man, was conscripted into Iran's army and forced to fight against his own people. Refusing to go to war against his fellow Kurds, Azad deserted and smuggled himself to the United Kingdom, where he was granted asylum, became a citizen, and learned English. But more than a decade later, having returned to the Middle East as a social worker in the wake of the Syrian civil war, Azad found that he would have to pick up a weapon once again. In September 2014, after twenty-one days of intensive training as a sniper, Azad became one of seventeen volunteer marksmen deployed by the Kurdish army when ISIS besieged the city of Kobani in Rojava, the newly autonomous region of the Kurds. In Long Shot, Azad tells the inside story of how the Kurdish forces fought nine months of bloody street battles against the Islamic State. Vastly outnumbered, the Kurds would have to kill the jihadis one by one, and Azad takes readers on a harrowing journey behind rebel frontlines to reveal the sniper unit's essential role in fighting, and eventually defeating, ISIS. Weaving the brutal events of war with personal and political reflection, Azad meditates on the incalculable price of victory--the permanent effects of war on the body and mind; the devastating death of six of his closest comrades; the loss of hundreds of volunteers who died in battle. But as Azad explains, these were sacrifices that saved not only a city but a people and their land. Rojava was freed, and ISIS, which once threatened the world, never fully recovered. At once wrenching and redemptive, Long Shot is a dramatic account of modern war that tells the story of how, against all odds, a few thousand men and women achieved the impossible and kept their dream of freedom alive.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not true EcoTank-style compatibility with ET-15000 refill ports
Color: B/B/B/B, Color: B/B/B/B
I previously purchased the full Hiipoo sublimation ink set for my Epson ET-15000 and had a great experience. Those bottles included the correct EcoTank-style keyed refill tips that insert directly into the printer’s tank ports and allow clean, gravity-fed filling.
Because the black tank gets used faster, I later ordered the black refill bottle separately. Unfortunately, this bottle does not include the keyed EcoTank nozzle. Instead, it comes with a pointed tip and syringes for manual transfer.
The syringes also do not fit the ET-15000 refill opening, which is designed for the keyed gravity-fill system. As a result, I had to attempt a manual pour and ended up with ink spilling around the tank area.
The ink itself has worked well for me in the past and I like the Hiipoo brand overall, but this refill bottle is not directly compatible with the ET-15000 the same way the original set was. Buyers expecting the same refill experience should be aware of this difference.

Great product, quality colors and vibrant prints
Color: 1BK/1C/1Y/1M
Best Sublimation Ink I have found so far. Great size bottles for the price you pay. Lasts a long time and the colors print great and when you press the print the colors come out BEAUTIFUL and VIBRANT! Dries quickly after printing so no worries on smudging but even after sitting over a month on the paper still presses like you printed it that day!

I’ve been consistently purchasing this Hiipoo sublimation ink for my sublimation printers, and I’ve been extremely pleased with the results. The print quality is excellent, with vibrant colors and clean transfers every time.
What I really appreciate is how true the final product turns out compared to my original designs. The colors stay accurate, and the finished results look exactly the way I intended, which is very important for my projects and products.
This ink has been reliable and consistent, and I will definitely continue using it for my sublimation work.
