Surrounded by the Enemy Steve Bruni

What could possibly turn an innocent child into a racist and eventually a terrorist? In Henry Schroeders' case it began with an unfortunate series of events. His childhood had been tough, growing up as a white kid in one of the worst ghettos in New York City. In his neighborhood, it had always been "kill or be killed", so when Henry was drafted into the Army and ended up in Vietnam, things didn't seem very different to him. The war was Henry's "college". In Vietnam he learned the skills that were necessary to make his violent fantasies become real. The Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh, and even Osama bin Laden, were all born innocent. This book delves into the reason one man turned to terrorism to solve the world's problems. After reading this book you will never feel the same about "the boy next door."
