Mark Mardirossian was an ideal student and pursued a normal but uncertain teenage life in Iraq. However, all that changed when a fleeting time after the Baath regime, under the control of Saddam Hussein, came into power and started to hunt minorities. Mark's father was wrongfully accused, tortured, and imprisoned in an Iraqi prison.With no hope or word from his father returning from prison, Mark had to take responsibility for his family in poverty conditions at the age of fifteen. A knock on their door eight days later changed things, which had prompted him and his family to escape Iraq and flee to Lebanon. Unfortunately, Mark was detained at the Lebanese border, which led to a separation from his family. While living in Lebanon, Mark escaped death three times.Inspired to share his true story some forty-three years later, Mark was compelled to write his memoir entitled, I Did It! From Iraq to Freedom.Mark had been self-employed in the construction business for 25 years. He holds Bachelor of Science and Masters Degrees, and prefers to divide his time between his profession and writing. This is his first book."Freedom is not earned or given, but it is a struggle to achieve and a fight that isworth winning." - Mark MardirossianIf you would like to reach out to Mark, please feel free to email him at:ididit_fi tf@yahoo.com
