“Every author has a story beyond the one that they put down on paper. Abū Ghurayb The Barnes & Noble Podcast goes between the lines with today’s most interesting writers, exploring what inspires them, what confounds them, and what they were thinking when they wrote the books we’re talking about.”
Hugh Hewitt invited Daniel for an in-depth interview about The Black Widow, which he calls “the most important book of the summer, no matter who you are or where you live in America.” Daniel discusses the origins and rise of ISIS, how he has chosen to explore their history in The Black Widow, and the danger they pose.
