Highly-trained in warfare, self-defense, infiltration, and deep surveillance, \"the Unit,\" as the Department of Defense has asked us to refer to it, has been responsible for preventing dozens of terrorist attacks in the Western world. Never before has a member of this unit shared their story -- until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Adam Gamal, one of the only Muslim Arab Americans to serve inside \"the Unit,\" comes an incisive firsthand account of our nation's most secretive military group. When Adam arrived in the United States at the age of twenty, he spoke no English, and at 5'1\" and 112 pounds, he was far from what you might expect of a soldier. But compelled into service by a debt he felt he owed to his new country, he rose through the ranks of the military to become one of its most elite and skilled operators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith humor and humility, Adam shares stories of life-threatening injuries, of the camaraderie and capabilities of his team, and of the incredible missions―but also of the growth he experienced as he learned to understand his own moderate faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnthralling and eye-opening, \u003ci\u003eThe Unit\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a gripping account of the fight against terror, an urgent examination of the need for diversity, and an inside look at how America fights its battles abroad in the modern age of terrorism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis edition includes a 16 page color photo insert.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eADAM GAMAL is a pseudonym created to keep the author and his family safe from harm.
