Synopsis
Ansary writes with a breezy nonchalance that would seem facile if not for the underlying core of reflection and unacknowledged pain. His book is part memoir, part exploration of militant Islam, with a smattering of contemporary Afghan history. The two strands intertwine in poignant passages describing Ansary's strained relationship with his brother, a convert to orthodox Islam.
