Download The Honored Dead: A Story of Friendship, Murder, and the Search for Truth in the Arab World AudioBook Free
The Arab Islamic world is well known for religious extremism, ethnic issues, and, now, the overthrow of seemingly unshakable regimes. But if anything has become clear, it's that our understanding of the region remains shrouded and incomplete. The seeds of trend, radicalism, and-possibly-reform are buried in the individual stories of millions of people whose lives determine the fates with their societies, people whose motivations are as common, so when strange, as our own. Here is one of those stories-and the story of how this world is being altered, one life at a time. Joseph Braude is the first European journalist ever to secure embed status with an Arab security pressure, given to a solidified product of detectives in Casablanca who take care of everything from busting al-Qaeda cells to solving homicides. One day, he's given the apply for a seemingly commonplace murder: a officer at a warehouse wiped out in what appears to be a robbery removed incorrect. Braude is intrigued by the facts of the circumstance: the sheer brutality of the murder; the identities of the accused-a soldier-and the sufferer, a shadowy migrant with links to a radical cleric; and the unusual location: a warehouse held by a rich member of one of the few thriving Jewish areas in the Arab world. After interviewing the victim's best friend, who tearfully insists that the true history of the murder has been protected up by powerful hobbies, Braude commits to addressing the bottom of computer. Braude's risky quest for the shocking truth behind the murder requires him from cosmopolitan Marrakesh to the very pleased Berber heartland, from the homes of the wealthiest & most powerful people in the country to the backstreets of Casablanca, where migrants come to make fortunes, jihad, and trouble, but often conclude just aiming to make it through with dignity. The Honored Dead is a well-timed and riveting enigma about a population in transition, the energy of the reality, and the irrepressible real human dependence on justice.
