Publisher's Summary
Dangerous Minds will delve into the complex and intricate lives of some of the most talked-about terrorists of the country.
Dr Jalees Ansari, a doctor from Malegaon involved in 80 blasts, including some on railway tracks, was supposed to be a quiet, peace-loving medical professional. Fahmida Ansari, a housewife and mother of two from the Jogeshwari slums of Northwest Mumbai, physically planted the bombs herself in a bus and taxis and returned home as if nothing had happened.
What drove them to such violent designs? What were their compulsions? Can a human being be so ruthless and heartless, and why?
The audiobook will explore the lives, early beginnings, careers, and sudden transformations of such people into merchants of death.
