More about the book

Exploring the motivations behind violent extremism, this book delves into the experiences of Somali Americans, particularly young men from Minnesota, who were drawn to terrorist groups like al-Shabab and ISIS. Through extensive interviews, it highlights the internal conflict faced by individuals, including one American-born son of Somali immigrants who nearly succumbed to extremist ideologies. The narrative contrasts those who pursued this dangerous path with many others who resisted, shedding light on the complex dynamics of identity, faith, and the search for belonging.
