“Scroggins’
research is wide-ranging and impeccable, and she keeps readers on the
edge of their seats with her compelling prose. If we can understand
Siddiqui and Ali, then we will have a better chance of understanding the
war on terror.” Booklist (starred review)
“This
meticulously researched, skillfully narrated account offers a nuanced
look at political Islam and the “war on terror” through the eyes of two
women on the front lines.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
