Al-Qaeda by Jason Burke
This investigation of the al-Qaeda phenomenon by a recognized expert on the subject looks at whether al-Qaeda is a disciplined, motivated, terrorist organization led by a single, criminal mastermind or no more than an idea, a language in which angry young Muslim men can articulate their rage.
"fascinating.. packed full with totally new material" Gilles Kepel, author of 'Jihad: The Trail of Political Islam'; "... a book which vastly increases our understanding of the al-Qaeda phenomenon. Burke writes with admirable lucidity and the benefit of his frontline reporting and deep research". Peter Bergen, author of 'Holy War, Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden'. "Impressive...it challenges the myth of Al-Qaida as a monolith orchestrating terrorist activity worldwide" Peter Marsden, author of 'The Taliban: War and Religion in Afghanistan'.
