Product description
From the Inside Flap
Before the age of twenty-one, Mosab Hassan Yousef saw things no one should ever see: abject poverty, abuse of power, torture, and death.
He witnessed the behind-the-scenes dealings of top Middle Eastern leaders who make headlines around the world. He was trusted at the highest levels of Hamas and participated in the Intifada. He was held captive deep inside Israel s most feared prison facility. His dangerous choices and unlikely journey through dark places made him a traitor in the eyes of people he loves and gave him access to extraordinary secrets. On the pages of this book, he exposes events and processes that to this point have been known only by a handful of individuals. . . .
Mosab Hassan ( Joseph ) Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding leader of Hamas, internationally recognized as a terrorist organization and responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks against Israel. An integral part of the movement, Mosab was imprisoned several times by the Israeli internal intelligence service. After a chance encounter with a British tourist, he started a six-year quest that jeopardized Hamas, endangered his family, and threatened his life. He has since embraced the teachings of Jesus and sought political asylum in America.
Ron Brackin has traveled extensively in the Middle East as an investigative journalist. He was in Bethlehem, Ramallah, Gaza, and Jerusalem during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. He was on assignment in Baghdad after the fall of Iraq and more recently with the rebels and refugees of southern Sudan and Darfur. He has contributed articles and columns to many publications, includingUSA Today and the Washington Times. Ron served as a broadcast journalist and a congressional press secretary in Washington after graduating from the University of Maryland s Philip Merrill College of Journalism.

Incredible story, highly recommend
Reviewed in Canada on 6 January 2024Verified Purchase
Probably the most balanced and in depth view of the conflict in the Middle East. It’s also an incredible story and absolutely gripping. If you genuinely want to get close to the truth read it. I have so much gratitude for the author sharing his story, and love and compassion for him, his family and everyone suffering and struggling in the Middle East and around the world.

Reviewed in France on 18 November 2023Verified Purchase
Le récit autobiographique de Mosab Hassan Yousef est l'un des plus étonnants qu'il m'a été donné de lire ces dernières années. Fils de l'un des fondateurs du Hamas, il a servi comme espion au service du renseignement israélien, le Shin Beth, durant une dizaine d'années... Son récit est à la fois captivant, horrifiant, émouvant, bref, vous n'en sortirez pas indemnes...
