The result is \u003ci\u003eChildren of Jihad\u003c\/i\u003e, a portrait of paradox that probes much deeper than any journalist or pundit ever could.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chosen as one of \u003ci\u003eKirkus Review\u003c\/i\u003e''s Best Books of 2007, Cohen''s account begins in Lebanon, where he interviews Hezbollah members at, of all places, a McDonald''s. In Iran, he defies government threats and sneaks into underground parties, where bootleg liquor, Western music, and the Internet are all easy to access. His risky itinerary also takes him to a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, borderlands in Syria, the insurgency hotbed of Mosul, and other front-line locales. At each turn, he observes a culture at an uncanny crossroads. Gripping and daring, \u003ci\u003eChildren of Jihad\u003c\/i\u003e shows us the future through the eyes of those who are shaping it.","brand":"Penguin Putnam Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49532810756439,"sku":"9781592403998","price":14.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781592403998.jpg?v=1731888621","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/children-of-jihad-a-young-americans-travels-among-the-youth-of-the-middle-east-9781592403998","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
