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. In Son of Hamas, Mosab Yousef―now called “Joseph”―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.

Review

"Son of Hamas, written by Mosab Hassan Yousef and journalist Ron Brackin, is . . . a must-read book and one can only hope it becomes the basis of a major Hollywood motion picture. - Joel Rosenberg

--Amazon

" . . . a fascinating book. I couldn't put it down." - Sean Hannity --Fox News' Hannity

". . . a book more incendiary than any roadside IED . . ." --GQ Magazine

" . . . intriguingly detailed . . ." --Newsweek

" . . . one of the most extraordinary spy stories in history . . ." David Asman, America's Nightly Scoreboard, Fox Business Network

From the Inside Flap

Before the age of twenty-one, Mosab Hassan Yousef saw things no one should ever see: abject poverty, abuse of power, torture, and death.
He witnessed the behind-the-scenes dealings of top Middle Eastern leaders who make headlines around the world. He was trusted at the highest levels of Hamas and participated in the Intifada. He was held captive deep inside Israels most feared prison facility. His dangerous choices and unlikely journey through dark places made him a traitor in the eyes of people he lovesand gave him access to extraordinary secrets. On the pages of this book, he exposes events and processes that to this point have been known only by a handful of individuals. . . .
Mosab Hassan (Joseph) Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding leader of Hamas, internationally recognized as a terrorist organization and responsible for countless suicide bombings and other deadly attacks against Israel. An integral part of the movement, Mosab was imprisoned several times by the Israeli internal intelligence service. After a chance encounter with a British tourist, he started a six-year quest that jeopardized Hamas, endangered his family, and threatened his life. He has since embraced the teachings of Jesus and sought political asylum in America.
Ron Brackin has traveled extensively in the Middle East as an investigative journalist. He was in Bethlehem, Ramallah, Gaza, and Jerusalem during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. He was on assignment in Baghdad after the fall of Iraq and more recently with the rebels and refugees of southern Sudan and Darfur. He has contributed articles and columns to many publications, includingUSA Today and the Washington Times. Ron served as a broadcast journalist and a congressional press secretary in Washington after graduating from the University of Marylands Philip Merrill College of Journalism.

From the Back Cover

The shocking true story of a Hamas insider who rejected his violent destiny―and is now risking everything to expose closely guarded secrets and show the world a way to peace.
Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son and heir apparent 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 follow in his footsteps. But everything changed when Mosab embraced the teachings of another famous Middle East leader instead. What he learned changed his life and could alter the course of his country’s future―forever. In Son of Hamas, Mosab reveals new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about his own secret role, his agonizing separation from family and homeland, his dangerous choices, and his belief that the mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East.

Is the Qu'ran full of Lies?

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have cautioned people, for years, about the inconsistencies of the Qu'ran. This book should be a must read to bring light to the horrors that are being committed by these lies. What was shocking to learn that the Palestinian Authority (PA) had few real followers and that many were democrats and communist. And that Hamas inhumane treatment of their own inside prisons should be a warring to anyone who believes this is right. One of the world's biggest mass murderer is Maher Odeh. At the end of the book, Mr. Yousef sees Odeh walking down the street in Southern California. I think some immigration reform is in need.

A MUST read book!!!
I was very fortunate to meet the guy at a lecture.
I bought few copies of the book so I can give them to people as gifts!!
This man's story is nothing short of astonishing. To read how the Lord moved, in his complicated and dangerous life, to lead him to Him was thrilling to read. He was granted Political Asylum in the U.S. (God bless America!) and, as far as I know, is still residing there in relative safety (there are many who wish to see him dead). I pray this man's story would reach many, and that many hearts would be changed.
Every western civilization person must read the book!!

I was moved emotionally towards Mosab as I was reading this account of terror going on in Palestinian.
I had never quite understood the problems each country fazed so it makes me feel sad for the peaceful Palestinian that they HAVE to live this way day after day, because of their leaders.
I pray that the leaders will come to understand that LOVE can make the whole world go around so we can all live in peace.
I have a lot of respect for Mosab and his courageous actions and the way his HANDLER came to San Diego to testify that Mosab was not a terrorist and that he would be accepted as a free man here in this wonderful country.
May he be blessed many times over and continue to live in peace.

This book filled in many gaps in my understanding of the Middle East conflict. I grew up hearing about the PLO, PA, Hamas, etc, but never really comprehending the difference each had from another. What a tremendous amount of fortitude, grit, love, and trust Mosab displayed throughout his experiences of walking a very fine line of loyalty to family and espionage for the "enemy." I found Son of Hamas to be a very readable and clear behind-the-scenes exposure to difficult and complicated politics and religions. I highly recommend this book.

Ranger Book Reviews

Powerful redemption message and insight into the Israeli-Palestinian struggle

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

Mosab Hassan Yousef has written one of the most unique and incredible spiritual memoirs of our time. As the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, the spiritual patriarch of Hamas, Mossab was an unlikely candidate for either a Christian conversion or to become a spokesman for peace in the Israel/Palestine conflict. Indeed, Mossab was destined for a life of violence and bitterness when a chance encounter with a missionary led him to make a life-changing commitment to Jesus Christ. This decision sent shock waves through the Hamas hierarchy forcing Mosab to escape his family and seek asylum in the United States. His memoir covers his early life, his impressions of his father, his often bitter encounters with Israeli security forces, his experience in Israeli jails and as an Israeli agent working inside Hamas, and finally, his escape through Jordan to the United States. His conversion to Christianity is one of the most powerful redemption stories you will ever read. It was the epiphany he needed to objectively see the bitterness, hatred and hopelessness suffered by all sides in the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. This book won't be popular with Muslims, nominal Christians or Jews as Mosab proposes the only solution that is tenable -- a spiritual change of heart through the life-changing power of Jesus Christ that can make Muslim, Christian and Jew all one in Christ. But you won't find a better book to understand the dilemma of the Israeli-Palestine conflict and the inner workings of Hamas and the Israeli security forces. For that reason alone this book is highly recommended. I also recommend a similar book called Once an Arafat Man by Tass Saada -- a spiritual memoir written by an insider on the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) side of the conflict -- as a companion book to Son of Hamas. Read one or both of these books -- You will not be disappointed.

Great reading! Fact or fiction? Don't know, don't care, just enjoy it!

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

IFall of the story is true, especially the espionage ventures, it is an amazing and fascinating story. If the espionage or any other parts are fiction, it is still a great read. I did research on the web and there is a lot of controversy, heavy on the negative side expressing doubt as to the veracity of the stories within the book. I have neither the time or money to research it further and probably would never be able to get conclusive answers since government agencies and terrorist groups are involved - both casting aspersions at each other. That does not diminish the book which is a real page-turner - you wonder with every chapter: "Wow, how will he get out of THIS?"

Amazing true story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

This amazing book gives insight behind the problems of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. How this young man could have done what he did is beyond belief, but I am quite sure it is true.
It even offers the only peace solution of love and forgiveness should people's hearts desire it. I recommend all Christians read it, I recommend all Muslims read it and I recommend all Israelis read it. It will also give secular people understanding into different beliefs in God and how this affects peoples lives, causing them to act the way they do.

I am a great admirer of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Somalia), Maryam Namazie (Iran) and Dr Wafa Sultan (Syria), all from different countries and all independent-minded. To this list I can add Mosab Hassan Yousef (Palestine), who like them was able to challenge religious ideology and closed-mindedness and liberate himself.

A remarkable story and an important contribution and contributor to the fight against fundamentalists who would have us all in chains.

A very brave and honourable man

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

This man defied all the odds and had to deceive friends and foes alike as he set out to promote good over evil. To save lives. Not in any prejudiced way but to save the lives of any individual or group of individuals that he possibly could. He shrugs off the enormity of the risks he took on a daily basis as he worked tirelessly to save the next life. I salute him. His personal loss in being estranged from his family now for many years. Christianity won him over as it did me. Read how God speaks to this man and guides him out of harms way on many occasions. Well done Yousef. May the Lord look favourably upon you as you go through life. I pray your family will shake off the chains of Islam and join you as you progress on your way to Heaven. We need a thousand Yousef’s. May God bless you and keep you throughout the rest of your life. Your address to the UN was inspiring. These corrupt politicians and world leaders needed your rebuke.

If I could hand this book out to anyone who wanted to understand the Israel/Palestine conflict I would. I wish more people would be honest enough to explain the truth of the matter, then perhaps the so called peace making politicians would look to finding a long term truce plan instead of a quick gain for the loudest voice.

I urge anyone, anyone who wants to know more to read this book. You will not be disappointed

I could not put this book down until read. Thrilling, inspiring, enlightening, startling, etc. I was again shocked by how heavy-handed the Israelis went about/go about business but have some understanding of their wish to have their homeland back especially when learning of how terribly horrendous and un-Godly the Palestinians treat (torture) even their OWN people. I cried at the end for what the writer, UASSAN YOUSEF MOSAB had gone through and sacrificed to do the right thing. I am glad he is now safe (hopefully safe) in the USA.
