"In Al-Qaeda, Jane Corbin, crosses four continents in search of bin Laden's terror network. The result of four years research, reporting and travel throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America, she has conducted hundreds of interviews with key eyewitnesses, investigators, and intelligence officers around the world.".
"Tracing al-Qaeda's roots back to the jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, Corbin picks up the complicated trail that led to the collapse of the Twin Towers and beyond. Exploring the tradecraft of "The Base," she shows how they used the training drilled into them in the Afghan terror camps to stay below the radar of the world's most sophisticated intelligence agency. Here too are descriptions of the parallel deadly plots to kill hundreds in Europe, only uncovered in their final stages.".
"Finally, as President Bush's "war on terror" in Afghanistan poses more questions than it answers, Corbin examines the West's response to the threat of al-Qaeda and declares it a failure."--BOOK JACKET.
