Summary

Adam Gamal (not his real name) came to America from Egypt at age 20. He didn’t know English, had no family, and had to be led out of the subway by his hand to find his way to the YMCA for his first night in New York City. He worked three jobs, learned English, and joined the US Army. His dedication and skills led to an invitation to join a group whose name was classified.

‘The Unit’ isn’t just the name of the book. It’s a name that represents the most secretive force in the Army. Adam tells us about his decision to leave Egypt, why he joined the Army, the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood, and his part in taking out the head of one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the world.
