Son Of Hamas – A Gripping Account of Terror, Betrayal, Political Intrigue and Unthinkable Choices (Paperback, 304 pg, Updated Edition 2023) Mosab Hassan Yousef, Ron Brackin

“Despite the fact that most of Mosab’s story deals with torture, betrayal, death and destruction, “Son of Hamas” offers hope. But this is not the buzzword kind of hope of catchy political phrases. This hope is the result of one of the most difficult virtues to master: forgiveness. Mosab writes: “Truth and forgiveness are the only solution for the Middle East. The challenge, especially between Israelis and Palestinians, is not to find a solution. The challenge is to be the first courageous enough to embrace it.” In the end, “Son of Hamas” is an uplifting tale of one man’s discovery that true freedom, personally as well as between nations, is found ultimately in forgiveness” – The Washington Times

His dangerous choices and unlikely journey through dark places made him a traitor in the eyes of people he loves – and gave him access to extraordinary secrets. In Son of Hamas, Mosab reveals new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about his own role, his agonizing separation from family and homeland, the dangerous decision to make his newfound faith public, and his belief that the Christian mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East.  The book chronicles his youth as the son of a devout Muslim Iman, to his years in prison, then follows his years as a spy for Israel.

Description

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas.

The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status . . . and power.

But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence, and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader.

Mosab Hassan Yousef was destined for an unusual life from day one, being the oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic fundamentalist organization that claimed many terror attacks in Israel over the past decades. After he arrived in the United States he wrote this book where he shares his inside view on that world and details his collaboration over the course of ten years with Israeli intelligence.

Son of Hamas is now available with an all-new 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.
