The Terrorist's Son: A Story of Choice by Zak Ebrahim

3.0

In this brief memoir, Zak Ebrahim highlights some of the shaping moments of his life as the son of the terrorist who killed the leader of the Jewish Defense League and from his prison cell helped plan the1993 WTC bombings. Ebrahim's childhood was completely shaped by his father's beliefs and growing extremism, and while this book lays out the timeline of what his father and his fellow terrorists were up to, I would have liked to have learned more about Ebrahim himself and his beliefs. The premise of the book is about how the son of a terrorist never felt that hate himself, but then what was he feeling instead? What does he feel now? A fascinating read, I wish there were a bit more to it.
