RaveThe Washington TimesThis book is not only a fascinating memoir by a former al Qaeda operative, but an account of how individuals become radicalized into violent extremism in their youth ... Mr. Dean’s story benefited from his collaboration with his co-authors, Paul Cruickshank and Tim Lister, who are top investigative journalists and experts on al Qaeda, who corroborated his account and further fleshed out his narrative with a wider context to explain the nature of global jihadism ... a compelling account that sheds light on the inner workings of al Qaeda.
