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

4.0

I found this book to be a very compelling story of her career as a journalist as well as a history lesson for me on the many conflicts that are driving the actions of some people in the Middle East. I appreciated her pursuit of answers to hard questions that not many other people were looking into, and the use of her background to connect with people to get those answers. I'm interested in reading some of her articles to get more context.
