Özet

An inside look at al-Qaeda from 9/11 to the death of its founder—told through the words of Bin Laden and his closest circle

Usama Bin Laden’s greatest fear was not capture or death, but the exposure of al-Qaeda’s secrets. At great risk to themselves and the entire mission, the US Special Operations Forces, who carried out the Abbottabad raid that killed Bin Laden, took an additional eighteen minutes to collect Bin Laden’s hard drives and thereby expose al-Qaeda’s secrets.

In this ground-breaking book, Nelly Lahoud dives into Bin Laden’s files and meticulously distills the nearly six thousand pages of Arabic private communications. For the first time, al-Qaeda’s closely guarded secrets are laid bare, shattering misconceptions and revealing how and what Bin Laden communicated with his associates, his plans for future attacks, and al-Qaeda’s hostility toward countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan. Lahoud presents firsthand accounts of al-Qaeda from 9/11 until the elimination of Bin Laden, as told through his own words and those of his family and closest associates.

this book covers a interesting topic, and although it's very interesting in sections in overall it's quite dry. can be hard to follow in sections due to jumping between topics and timelines. I would recommend it to someone who was interested in this particular topic, there is some insite I have not heard in other books, but would be hard to follow for someone who didn't know much about the context.

a fairly average book on a interesting topic

the meat of it is very intresting and very well done but it jumps arround on timelines so much that it really should be in severel parts looking at different fields of operations instead its failry choppy still worth reading though

Highly intresting porrly layed out

Pieced together from the computer files captured during the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden, this fascinating history of Al-Qaeda holds many surprises. How the invasion of Afghanistan following 9/11 and US drone strikes all but destroyed Al-Qaeda as a fighting force. How infighting between Jihadist groups fractured the Islamist cause and how, had he lived, Bin Laden planned a massive global attack on the Worlds oil tankers to regain the initiative on Jihad and starve the West of oil. Truly a monster, yet on a personal level, he seems to have believed in kindness and compassion to those around him.

Though I found the many names confusing (some characters are referred to by several different names), it’s well read, with some of the original Arabic words appended with authentic pronunciation. If you are interested in modern history, this book provides many great insights into the mind of the man who planned 9/11.
