<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • From award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad comes a powerful reckoning with what it means to live in a West that betrays its fundamental values.<br> <br>"[A] bracing memoir and manifesto." —<i>The New York Times</i><br> <br>"I can’t think of a more important piece of writing to read right now. I found hope here, and help, to face what the world is now, all that it isn’t anymore. Please read this.
