The result is \u003ci\u003eChildren of Jihad\u003c\/i\u003e, a portrait of paradox that probes much deeper than any journalist or pundit ever could.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChosen as one of \u003ci\u003eKirkus Review\u003c\/i\u003e's Best Books of 2007, Cohen's account begins in Lebanon, where he interviews Hezbollah members at, of all places, a McDonald's. In Iran, he defies government threats and sneaks into underground parties, where bootleg liquor, Western music, and the Internet are all easy to access. His risky itinerary also takes him to a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon, borderlands in Syria, the insurgency hotbed of Mosul, and other front-line locales. At each turn, he observes a culture at an uncanny crossroads. Gripping and daring, \u003ci\u003eChildren of Jihad\u003c\/i\u003e shows us the future through the eyes of those who are shaping it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050097623280,"sku":"9781592403998","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781592403998_p0.jpg?v=1763808591","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781592403998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
