The book explores the profound psychological impact of two decades of counterterrorism and policing on Muslims in Britain, as experienced by the author, Rizwaan Sabir. Through his personal narrative of arrest, detention, and ongoing surveillance, he reveals the traumatic mental health effects of these practices. Sabir argues that these consequences stem from a counterinsurgency approach rather than mere planning errors. He calls for resistance against such policies, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences and solidarity in combating injustice.
