A sample from his book is below:

The blast killed a dozen worshipers at the Beth Israel synagogue in
downtown Istanbul, attracting international news coverage. It was a
significant event for Mahir Hakki. Now, for the first time in centuries,
he thought, we are taking the fight to them.

The rusty old car that Mahir and his friend Jamal had loaded with
explosives had rolled slowly down the hill, crashing through the door
below a Star of David. Mahir was careful to push the button on the
remote control a microsecond after, when only the foreign Zionists were
near the car. He wanted to make sure that no innocent countrymen of
his would be hurt. Mahir told his friend, “We want our patriots to
understand the struggle. Then all of them will join in jihad.”

Back in the spring of 2004 when Mahir was working in the only tire
store the Turkish European Trading Company had been able to hold on
to, Gregory P. Mount, the vice president for marketing at Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company, came to Istanbul with his wife and son,
taking a sentimental journey back to where he had started out so many
years before. He could not resist walking by the old store and talking to
the guy there about tires.

“I remember when this was just a used tire shop,” he told the worker.
