Welcome to Litsy!

Both from the epilogue:

“I believe there should be a strict vetting process; but our world becomes more dangerous when we shut our doors to immigrants.“

“Keeping America's doors open ensures that when we are threatened by an enemy, we will always have someone who looks like them to help defeat them. Our best defense is inclusion. America is everyone.“

I wish more people understood this.

⭐⭐⭐ Better-written than Black Klansman (another undercover operation memoir). I'm glad I read this (and BK) if for no other reason than to get a better understanding what we're up against.

Interesting book that very well conveys the difficulties of being an undercover agent. It reads very easily, Tamer Elnoury speaks openly of his work, his life, and his religion. Despite moments I found a bit too long, I'm glad I read it, because I got to learn things (always something positive for me).

A memoir of an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated a terrorist cell seeking to blow up a rail bridge. I originally picked this up after hearing the agent interviewed on a podcast I listned to and found him interesting. At times, like the work, a bit repetitive, but an interesting read. He takes great pains to remind the reader that the jihadists' views are a perversion of Islam.

Finally digging into this after having it on the kindle for over a year. So far it‘s an engrossing (if elementarily written) read!

This book was fascinating! It read like a thriller at times, but unfortunately is nonfiction. I was so impressed with Tamer and his work as an undercover FBI agent. #audio

This is a must read for everyone
