Confessions of a Terrorist by Richard Jackson
An extraordinary, provocative novel that fundamentally questions deeply held beliefs about what makes a 'terrorist'.

Confessions of a Terrorist offers an outstanding contribution to the academic and fictional literature on terrorism. * Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding *
Extraordinarily intense ... A book that's too important not to read. * Morning Star *
Goes beyond the prevailing narratives of terrorist behaviour and delves into the thought processes of a terrorist, giving us unique insights into the "mind" of a terrorist. * Pambazuka *
On a breathtaking journey through the intricacies of a counter-terrorism interrogation, Richard 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 *
