"Tariq Khan is a Pakistani born and raised in Norway. An outsider in his own country-- adrift between two worlds divided by class, race, and culture-- he's always been searching for home. Alongside a flock of other streetwise young men, each looking for direction and each easily susceptible, Tariq finds his cause in the Muslim revival. Idealistic, driven by faith, and empowered with purpose, he's drawn to radical Islam-his last resort for achieving a sense of belonging, for embracing and being embraced. It's only when he enlists in the war against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad that Tariq's eyes are truly opened. Dispirited with the violence, faced with the consequences of his choices, and increasingly distanced by the brutalities of jihad, Tariq contends with spiritual struggles that are his alone. So are the stories he will tell to make sense of his life"--
