Decade of Fear: Reporting from Terrorism's Grey Zone
Decade of Fear: Reporting from Terrorism’s Grey Zone takes readers on a rollicking ten year journey from New York’s Ground Zero on the night of September 11, 2001, into the mountains of Waziristan, through the streets of Sanaa, behind the wire in Guantanamo Bay and into the homes of warlords and wanted terrorists to drink tea, chew qat and talk about Osama bin Laden. With frightening, heart-wrenching and darkly humourous stories that go beyond the headlines and behind the scenes, join Michelle Shephard, the Toronto Star’s National Security reporter, as she spends a decade trying to figure out a post-9/11 world.
