Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Subtitled, "Why I Joined Radical Islam In Britain, What I Saw Inside & Why I Left". At the age of sixteen, in the 1990s, Ed Husain was radicalised and became an Islamic fundamentalist. After five years of emotional turmoil, he rejected the doctrine and returned to normal life. This is his fascinating and extremely relevant story, which will help us understand the motivations behind terrorism.

Publisher's description:

When the author was sixteen, he became an Islamic fundamentalist. Five years later, after much emotional turmoil, he rejected fundamentalist teachings and returned to normal life and his family. He tried to put his experiences behind him, but as the events of 7/7 unfolded, it became clear to him that Islamist groups pose a threat to this country.
