Radical

good

Amazing read and a brilliant book. Took an awful lot longer than expected to arrive. Perhaps due to overseas shipping but was still a great read.

From confused B-boy in England to tortured Islamist in Egyptian prison to confident spokesman for Liberal Democracy worldwide, Maajid Nawaz is a gifted writer who describes his personal odyssey in fascinating detail. Along the way, Nawaz's thoughtful deconstruction of radical Islamism provides the reader with theoretical insight -- and practical basis for counterattack.

This was a fascinating read. I picked the book up and could not put it down.It gives a great insight into the motivations of Jihadists and how people even in today's world can become radicalized, and more importantly, the steps that can be taken to reverse that.

Amazing personal story, well argued and thought-provoking analysis as well as history lesson that sets one on the path to read and research more on the topic and beyond. Great prose as well. Would highly recommend for helping to understand involvement in violence of any religious flavor and also many other kinds.
