  • Summary

  • In the aftermath of 9/11 and the 7/7 London bombings, journalists were desperate to explain why young British Asian men were apparently turning against the country of their birth. Ambitious young reporter Shiv Malik prided himself on being able to persuade them to open up to him. Then he met Hassan Butt, one of the most notorious spokesman for Islamic terrorism in the UK. Hassan told Shiv he now denounced violence and asked Shiv to help him write a book to help others leave the terrorist network.

Audible is great.

I've been a member at audible since 2016.
And since then I've listened to a lot of books (there's over 700 in my library.
Anyways I'm so glad they've got this program where we can listen to podcasts.
The podcast thing is something new to me (I'm not a person who gets on the internet maybe a couple times a month) anyways I'm trying to say is I found a show on that I use to listen on the radio before I moved up to where I now live ) I live out of town and radio don't come in very good right where I live. and like I was saying I can now listen to the show and I'm so happy about it.

Enthralling story almost ruined by technical issues

This is a fascinating true story from start to finish with many twists and turns. It easily kept my interest throughout all episodes.

Unfortunately there are frequent recordings in the first 3 episodes which were (at least while listening in the car) completely indecipherable. This almost caused me to stop listening, but I’m glad I persevered and would recommend others to do so as well.

Unfortunately, this audio had minimal effect on my

opppuniion regarding the subject matter. I had difficulty getting into the premises of the topic. Therefore I abandoned listening to the end of the narartive..
