Tentang eBook ini

This gripping New York Times bestseller tells the true story of a Hamas insider who rejected his violent destiny and pursued peace . . . at the risk of everything.

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status . . . and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence and embarked on a spiritual journey, embracing instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader. Son of Hamas contains:

• new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about Mosab’s own role
• details of his agonizing separation from family and homeland
• the dangerous decision to make his newfound faith public
• his belief that the Christian mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East

Now available with a chapter about events since the book’s release such as the revelation of Mosab’s Israeli intelligence handler’s true identity, and Homeland Security’s effort to deport the author.

Rating dan ulasan

This is a book with misleading content. The author consistently portrays himself as a son of Hamas, yet he himself is misled and doesn't grasp the true nature of the Hamas movement. If you want to understand Hamas more deeply, it's better to conduct personal research by directly engaging with the people in Gaza rather than just reading the contents of this book.

Really NOT RECOMMENDED. Reading from 1st chapter 'til finish, I didn't get any interesting knowledge. While reading it really felt boring. I'm confused by the flow of the content.

From start to finish, this book left me thoroughly disappointed and frustrated. It is with great reluctance that I give it a one-star rating. The book failed to provide any significant insights or thought-provoking moments. It lacked substance and failed to deliver on its promises. The overall experience left me feeling unsatisfied and as though I had wasted my time. I strongly advise against reading [Book Title]. Its weak plot, underdeveloped characters, poor writing style, and lack of substance make it one of the worst books I have read in recent memory. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for a more fulfilling literary experience.
