Advance Praise for Patriot Acts

“Gripping. This is an important book that takes us beyond the featureless generalities of the post-9/11 drama to show us the particular experiences of individual human beings, each one living a life unlike any other.”
—Tamim Ansary, author of West of Kabul, East of New York

“The narratives collected in this important and timely book will go a long way toward helping us deal with the reality of what we have been through, and where we are going, since the attacks of 9/11.”
Reza Aslan, author of No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam
