What We're Reading Children of Jihad by Jared Cohen Jewish American Jared Cohen was an extensively traveled young man who was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. While there, he took a crash course in Arabic and studied the history and culture of the Middle East. In 2004-2005 he set out for Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Iraq to investigate the phenomenon of radical Islamic extremism. Reaching out to the youth in these countries, he put himself into incredible danger in order to understand their views on their own governments, on Israel, and on America. What he discovers will shock the reader, but will also offer hope for a better future for all people. More Staff Picks |
