Africa is never as it's imagined. Misunderstanding it is always dangerous and sometimes fatal, and Mr. Banks, newly hired covert operative, will need to learn about Africa on the job'before it's too late.But it does not begin auspiciously:?We don't like Americans no more,? the kid says.'And then it gets worse:Gangs? Gangs in back country Africa? How bad could that be? ?They all carried Kalashnikovs. The boy came closer to Banks, looking up at him slightly. ?We are Psycho Jihad boys, yo,? he said. And he leaned slightly into Banks? chest, nudging him.'And then things really started going downhill:A budding insurgency, his home and place of work reduced to smoldering ashes, accidentally hitching a ride with a suicide truck bomber'.Physco Jihad follows a young, untested American, from his early days and church upbringing by his bootlegging grandmother in rural South Carolina, to his transformation into an American hero. Banks comes to realize that ?Maybe a person can't go through life claiming not to be involved'. A person has to stand for something'. It sounded heroic. Was he being heroic? No. He was being stupid. Damned stupid. And he knew it.'
