Son of Hamas: A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue, and Unthinkable Choices

A very well written book. It definitely gives an interesting perspective on extremist groups. Forced to betray his father for his father's own safety, he is forced to struggle with moral concepts and absolute right and wrong. Ten years of working with the Shin Bet targeting extremists makes for an exciting book, while Mosab Yousef searches for truth. I would definitely recommend this book to any interested readers looking for a simply outstanding book. The plot is great, it is a true account, and it has thought inspiring situations Yousef is forced into because of his father's involvement in Hamas. I loved this book and you will too.

Excellent read, a real page turner, and provides a greater understanding of current events happening in the Middle East (Israel-Palestinian conflict). Moreover, it a refreshing testimony of how God’s working hand led Mosab Hassan Yousef to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

This is an amazing tale, almost too startling to be true. Young Mosab, the eldest son of a Hamas cleric, goes through many harrowing adventures. Finally, he becomes a Christian. Mosab grows up in the 1980s and 1990s, first throwing rocks at the Israeli Defense forces. He ends up working with Shin Bet, the Israeli version of the CIA. After his collaboration with Shin Bet for several years, he finally gets tired of being a spy and quits, with a demand to move to the United States. They accede to his demand, and when the book ends, Mosab is getting along, with difficulty, somewhere in Southern California. More power to him. I'm glad he's on the side of Christianity and the United States. He would be a formidable opponent.
