It is no secret that hopeless young men and women make excellent candidates for radicalization. British-born Pakistani Maajid Nawaz details how, in 1992, his own journey towards extremism begins with the gang warfare decimating his neighborhood. He was imprisoned for five years in Egypt, which led Amnesty International to adopt the young man and his co-workers as prisoners of conscience. “Radical: My Journey Out of Islamist Extremism” documents this remarkable tale.
