PRESS REVIEWS for “BRÄUTE ALLAHS” (“ALLAH’S BRIDES”)

"Julia Juzik’s book provides a very detailed description of the conditions under which young girls in the Caucasus become suicide bombers."
NEW YORK TIMES

“In her book the journalist does away with a contantly recurring misperception. It is not the women who blow themselves up, in the majority of cases they are blown up.”
WDR Radio

"Julia Juzik’s revealing book about "Allah’s Brides" created a furore in Russia..."
EMMA

"There are books that bore into the mind of the reader like an imaginary knife.... The imaginary knife in the reader’s mind will be difficult to remove after reading this. It is impossible to close the book without being aghast and shocked and without pausing for a moment in your daily tasks in order to think about the women who give up their lives for Allah in the face of sheer hopelessness and in the conviction that Paradise awaits them ..."
SANDAMMEER

"Juzik dispenses with many of the myths that also still surround the Black Widows in the West."
