I Was Told to Come Alone: My Journey Behind the Lines of Jihad by Souad Mekhennet

5.0

This book is important to read. Souad sheds light on jihadists and their motivations. In the age of “fake news” she gives an incredibly sensitive, unbiased approach to how she conducts herself as a journalist. In her effort to remain unbiased, she does encounter similar pain to the families she covers realizing the “wall” she had build up to allow pain in.

This book was beautifully written and unlike any memoir I’ve ever read before. You need to read this!
