The author was a Norwegian volunteer with anti-IS Kurdish forces in Iraq a couple years ago. His instagram was amazing; the book is good, and accurately describes his experiences, but was kind of boring and could have used editing. Essentially a lot of his experiences were bureaucracy, waiting around, and otherwise boring, which is accurate, but there were lots of other details in Instagram which made it more compelling as a story. Still, pretty amazing to read about this from his perspective.
