Description
Zen Under Fire is an honest, moving, and at times terrifying true story of a woman's experience in one of the most dangerous places on earth. In 2006, Marianne Elliott began a peacekeeping mission in Herat, Afghanistan. While she is in charge, a tribal leader is assassinated, setting a chain of events in motion that could lead to widespread bloodshed.
Tasked with defusing the situation, Marianne must put everything she's learned to the test, despite the shattering effect that the high-stress environment has on her and her relationships—redefining the question of what it really means to do good in a country that is under siege from within.

Advance Praise
This is an amazing book, kind of like if Eat, Pray, Love had happened in
Afghanistan and the stakes were life and death. Marianne’s story about
diving into yoga, meditation, and compassionate action in the most
war-torn parts of the world is touching, relatable, informative, and, to
boot, fantastic storytelling. While falling in love with her, we learn
about what stops us from putting it all out on there in the name of
peace and where true courage comes from.
