This important book fills this gap with a comprehensive analysis of al Qaeda - the origins, leadership, ideology, and strategy of the terrorist network that brought down the Twin Towers and continues to threaten us today.

These were the ruthless tactics of a Soviet-style police state, not a democratic republic.
