Now available with a chapter about events since the book’s release such as the revelation of Mosab’s Israeli intelligence handler’s true identity, and Homeland Security’s effort to deport the author.

Detta är den sanna historien om Hamasmedlemmen som tog avstånd från en framtid fylld av våld och nu istället riskerar allt i arbetet med att exponera väl dolda hemligheter inom Hamas.

Mosab Hassan Yousef har ända sedan han var liten pojke haft möjlighet att se terroristorganisationen Hamas från insidan. Som äldste son och tronarvinge till Shejk Hassan Yousef, en av grundarna till Hamas och dess mest populäre ledare, hjälpte unge Mosab sin far under många år inom politiken samtidigt som han fostrades att följa i hans fotspår. Men allt förändrades när Mosab istället började följa en annan berömd ledargestalt från Mellanöstern. Det han nu lärde sig förändrade hans liv och skulle kunna ändra hans nations framtid – för alltid.I Född till terror avslöjar Mosab ny information om en av världens farligaste terroristorganisationer. Han berättar vidare om sin egen roll i allt detta, den smärtsamma separationen från familj och land, samt om sin tro på att mandatet att "älska din nästa" är enda vägen till fred i Mellanöstern.Om författarna:Mosab Hassan ("Joseph") Yousef är son till Shejk Hassan Yousef, en av grundarna och ledare inom Hamas, en organisation internationellt stämplad som en terroristorganisation med ansvar för otaliga självmordsbombningar och andra dödliga attacker mot Israel.

From Hamas to America is a gripping memoir that follows the son of Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan, as he breaks away from his culture’s practice of terrorism to becoming a double-agent for Israel to finally fleeing to America and becoming a US citizen, and ultimately finding peace.

“This is my opportunity to share my journey with others, to let go of both the traumas and the triumphs, to find freedom, to proclaim my truth.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef has worn many labels: Hamas terrorist, Green Prince, spy, traitor, hero, Hollywood player, Muslim, Christian, yogi, stateless, refugee, deportee, citizen. But all these labels have one thing in common: they serve someone else’s agenda. Now, for the first time, the New York Times bestselling author of Son of Hamas tells the full truth of his story. In it we see him

growing up as the son of one of the founders of Hamas,

being imprisoned and tortured by the Israelis,

growing to hate the Hamas tactics of rape and violence,

working with the Israeli intelligence to expose suicide bombers and save lives,

seeking asylum in the US,

fighting with Homeland Security to avoid deportation,

rejecting Islam and converting to Christianity and making international headlines for it,

becoming a top speaker on Middle Eastern affairs and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict,

working with Hollywood to tell his story, and

obtaining US citizenship and discovering the life-saving discipline of yoga.

This is the inspiring story of someone who has been under threat of assassination or imprisonment for most of his life, but who somehow finds the path to freedom and peace. Few will walk in his shoes, but everyone can follow his example and make their own journey to find redemption and peace.
