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

5.0

This book is a must read. Very difficult subject matter but I learned a lot. Souad is a journalist who has been able to get up close and personal to interview a variety of jihadists. It's chilling to read how a lot of these men feel. But I also liked how Souad tried to explore the reasoning behind the radicalization without excusing what they have done. This book really made me think. I highly recommend it.
