I Was Told to Come Alone: My Journey Behind the Lines of Jihad by Souad Mekhennet

4.5

Very interesting. Made me rethink a lot of my views on the Middle East, the Arab world and minorities in Germany (tl;dr; fuck, the west really sucks, and now the west and the rising fundamentalism are tied together in a murderous waltz to the edge of catastrophe). Interesting author - she is the sort of person you want to follow on her journey.
