South Asia

Infidel by Ayan Hirsi Ali
This is a riveting tale of the life of a youngster in war torn Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. She lives in the US, currently, and is in danger from Muslim extremists because she has renounced (and denounced) the Muslim faith.

Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad
This is an astounding story of a Norwegian journalist who was invited into the home of an Afghani family following the US takedown of the Taliban in 2001- 2002.
