The Brothers

Masha Gessen investigates brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Chechen-American perpetrators of the devastating 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds. Tracing their immigration history, family fractures and radicalisation, the book challenges official counterterrorism narratives and examines how young men become homegrown terrorists in America.
