Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
The al-Qaida informal and loose international network in over 50 countries has been responsible for spectacular terrorist operations such as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing in New York, the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa, and is apparently linked to the attack of the destroyer USS Cole in Aden, Yemen, in 2000. The purpose of this book is not to glorify bin Laden and al-Qaida. Rather, it is designed to provide an easily accessible reference for academics, policy makers, reporters and other interested individuals on one of the most notorious terrorist groups. The volume exposes much of al-Qaida’s mystique and thereby places it in perspective as one of the many challenges facing the international community in the 21st Century.

• Probably The Better Book To Inform Us Of Terrorists
01 December, 2001
I am Just an average American and not anything more than the average reader but I can deduce facts, this book brings us factual information about the terrorist. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the subject, but remember this is not a fantasy of entertainment piece, it simply brings us the account. Another Good Book that goes into some detail about the future of terrorism and did predict this terror by saying they would blow up the buildings and use bio war is Karl Mark Maddox's SB 1 or God

• Good Profile Of The Members And Affiliate Organizations.

Provides a good profile of all of al quida's known members and is good for knowing which terrorist organizations are affiliated with the Bin Laden Group.

• Usama Bin Laden's Al-qaida
20 March, 2002
An ok read that's generally informative. Too many issues are left unanswered for a truly focused look at this dangerous organization... but, the information that is presented is well researched and viable within those limits.
