Confessions of a Terrorist: A Novel

by Richard Jackson

Overview

P: Who is the real terrorist in this room?

M: What're you saying?

In a claustrophobic concrete cell, two men face each other across a bare table. One is a wanted terrorist, the other a British intelligence officer. But this is no ordinary interrogation, and as they talk deep into the night and violent secrets are revealed, the line between interrogator and confessor begins inextricably to blur. Who, then, is the real terrorist? And will they pay for their guilt in blood?

Editorial Reviews

"Extraordinarily intense....A book that's too important not to read."-- "Morning Star"

"On a breathtaking journey through the intricacies of a counter-terrorism interrogation, Jackson asks us to confront one of the most difficult truths of our time: that to identify 'the terrorist' is to look in the mirror and see oneself."
-- "Elizabeth Dauphinee, author of The Politics of Exile"
