The Secret History of Al-Qaida
Abdel-Bari Atwan
Written by a journalist and al-Qa'ida expert, this book provides information about al-Qa'ida's origins and its masterminds. It reveals how al-Qa'ida's radical departure from the classic terrorist/guerrilla blueprint has enabled it to outpace less adaptable efforts to neutralise it.
