"The IS reduced James Foley to a symbol.
The book makes him human again."
SZ, Andrian Kreye

In 2014, US journalist James Foley was beheaded on camera by the IS terrorist militia in Syria. In 2021, his mother, Diane Foley, sits opposite her son's murderer - and shakes his hand. This monstrous encounter is the starting point for "American Mother" (Rowohlt // Engl. by Volker Oldenburg), the new, much-discussed book by Colum McCann. It gives Diane Foley a voice, tells of her fight for the truth and reviews the life of her son. A book of radical humanity.
