520    Munjed's new book is once more a journey, but this time in
       taking him across the world on a quest to save others 
       rather than himself. In Munjed Al Muderis's bestselling 
       memoir Walking Free, he described his experience as a 
       refugee fleeing Saddam Hussein's Iraq, his terrifying sea 
       journey to Australia and the brutal mandatory detention he
       faced in the remote north of Western Australia. The book 
       also detailed his early work as a pioneering orthopaedic 
       surgeon at the cutting edge of world medicine. In Going 
       Back, Munjed shares the extraordinary journey that his 
       life-changing new surgical technique has taken him on. 
       Through osseointegration, he implants titanium rods into 
       the human skeleton and attaches robotic limbs, allowing 
       patients genuine, effective and permanent mobility. Munjed
       has performed this operation on hundreds of Australian 
       civilians, wounded British soldiers who've lost legs in 
       Iraq and Afghanistan, and a survivor of the Christchurch 
       earthquake in New Zealand. But nothing has been as 
       extraordinary as his return to Iraq after eighteen years, 
       at the invitation of the Iraqi government, to operate on 
       soldiers, police and civilian amputees wounded in the 
       horrific war against ISIS. These stories are both 
       heartbreaking and full of hope, and are told from the 
       unique perspective of a refugee returning to the place of 
       his birth as a celebrated international surgeon.
