The inspiring and uplifting memoir of Bondi hero Ahmed Al Ahmed, a story of humanity, hope and courage.

On a typical Sydney summer afternoon, families gathered at Bondi Beach to celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights. Darkness descended when two gunmen opened fire on the crowd.

As the terrorists advanced on the innocent civilians, Ahmed Al Ahmed surprised and disarmed one of the gunmen. His split-second decision saved countless lives. Ahmed was subsequently shot five times, leaving lasting nerve damage and two bullets still in his left arm. The viral footage of the Syrian-born Australian Muslim man's heroism drew praise worldwide.

Ahmed stopped violence and hatred in their tracks. His early life in Syria was shaped by hardship and violence. Since then, Ahmed vowed never to harm another - or allow others to do harm.

Ahmed's humbling story, from Syria to that fateful day on Sydney's shores, shows us what true strength is. In a compassionate, insightful and warmly told memoir, Ahmed shows us how light will always extinguish the dark.

Light Will Win
