"Decent book, if not a tad dry, that has given the most details I've seen on this shadowy group. Despite all of the details, however, I still did not come away with much of a stronger grasp of the inner workings of this organization. We know so little about them and yet they know us so well. That is the price that we pay for living in an open civilization."
"This book was clearly well-researched. It reads as a playbook of Al Qaeda's creation and growth. It contains details about regional operations, personalities involved, finances, and the whole nine yards. If you are a US strategist who wants a detailed introduction to Al Qaeda, the organization and the business, its origins and history, then this is the book for you.
I gave this 2 stars because it was basically impossible to read. It's not very long, but it's basically just jam-packed with facts. After the first 100 or so pages it goes into details of the organization at a regional level, region by region, detail by detail. It's more of an encyclopedic reference than someone one could actually sit down and read. Definitely not my style, but I respect what he's managed to accomplish because I'm sure it's valuable to someone out there."
"THis was good, but not as good as Burke. This was more from an academic side with many interviews. Some of his arguments were weak, but it was very informative and useful."
