Agent Storm

Morton Storm was an unlikely jihadi. At six-foot-one, Storm was a red-headed Dane who spent his teens throwing punches with a biker gang and getting thrown in jail. After reading about Islam he converted and embarked on a decade-long transformation that would lead him to a close friendship with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born terrorist cleric. In time, his repudiation of extremism led him to atonement and a life of extreme danger as an undercover agent for the CIA and British and Danish intelligence. He single-handedly thwarted attacks in the West and led the CIA to some of the world's most dangerous terrorists, all the while knowing his own life was expendable.
