Description One of the world's foremost experts on countering the threat of violent extremism, Michael Taarnby spent three years in war-torn Somalia living among defectors from one of the most notorious terrorist groups - al-Shabaab.
For the first time here, Taarnby tells the inside story of his efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate these former terrorists into society, and the many unexpected perils and emergencies he and his team encountered along the way.
For the team was soon to learn that in Somalia, hundreds of former terrorists are likely to be the least of your problems while working in a failed state.
By many perceived to be the project from hell that no one wanted, the Danish team accepted the challenge and ran with it, and this narrative details what it took - no holds barred.
Taarnby is uniquely positioned to tell the story as experienced from a compound in Mogadishu, in all of its chaos, corruption and violence where the unexpected and surreal becomes tedious routine.
He paints a riveting picture of a society running on a ticking clock to save it from itself.
And as fragile as Somali society may be, he exposes with an honest and unsparing eye how the international community struggle with Somali realities, and often come up short.
A wonderfully engaging, highly readable and fast paced account of the Somali defector program that carries many broader lessons on how to provide effective international assistance to fragile states.
Ricard Barrett, former MI6 Director of Global Counter Terrorism Operations and founder of the UN Counter Terrorism Implementation Task Force Serendi is a compelling, thought-provoking and inspiring account of setting up a terrorism rehabilitation program in one of the most dangerous countries on earth.
With verve and lashings of dark humor, it tells the captivating story of how against all odds Taarnby's small team produced such extraordinary results that they became a strategic threat to al-Shabaab and a top target for the ter.
