Customer Reviews

Informative but has some flaws

This book on Al Qaeda has a useable index and references to additional research sources that you can look up on your own (including Internet websites). This gives the book an extra dimension to just being something you read and put away.Williams manages to cram quite a bit into a compact soft-cover and does a good job of giving the reader a scare. He also tries to describe the structure of Al Qaeda and how it raises money for its activities. He could be more thorough describing the background on bin Laden and Islamic unrest but perhaps that would at least double the size of his book. His references are also a bit loose and there was at least one instance where I could not corroborate his information.

Shocking and Disturbing

The most informative book to appear on the subject of Islamic terrorism.

Good updated analysis of events

This is an excellent book about Bin Ladins organization. The author gives a history of Islam and relates it to Bin Ladins organization. He talks about things Bin Ladin did in Sudan that have never been talked about as in depth before. His information is probably one of the most accurate because he worked for the F.B.I.
