"This is a highly unusual and - its subject matter notwithstanding - thoroughly enjoyable book. Part memoir, part travelogue, part portfolio and review of street media - from graffiti to pre-mission videotapes - the book provides just what it promises: a journey into the world of the suicide bomber. Oliver and Steinberg are interested in drawing a portrait, not analyzing a movement. With a light hand they provide a cogent account of the distinctions and the tensions
between the nationalists and the Islamists, and the gradual institutionalization of Hamas over the course of the first intifada. They describe not a cult of martyrdom, but an entire social system that supports martyrdom. Without proffering analysis, they describe tight social networks, intense
small-group loyalty and the motivating power of the desire for revenge.... Riveting storytelling."—Louise Richardson, Harvard University, Financial Times
