Holy War, Inc.

Inside the Secret World of Osama Bin Laden

De: Peter L. Bergen

Narrado por: Peter L. Bergen

On September 11, 2001, the world changed forever as more than three thousand men, women, and children lost their lives in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. The attack was masterminded by Osama bin Laden and his Jihad group -- an organization that CNN's terrorism analyst Peter Bergen calls Holy War, Inc. One of the few Western journalists to have interviewed bin Laden face-to-face, Bergen has produced the definitive book on the global Jihadist network, revealing:

How bin Laden lives, travels, and communicates with his "cells."
How his role in the crushing defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan made him a hero to Muslims all over the world.
How the bombings of the American embassies in Africa and the USS Cole in Yemen were planned and executed.
What we can expect from Islamic extremists in the future.

Above all, Peter Bergen helps us to see bin Laden's organization in a radically new light: as a corporation that has exploited modern technology and weaponry in the service of global terrorism and the destruction of the West.

sorry about spelling

i'm new to listening to audio books ,but this one has me hooked.i found it very informative and easy to listen to.gives a good insight into how bin lardin and his "holy war inc" works.if you have interest in this subject (how alqeada and co work,and who bin lardin is) then this should be of much interest to you.

Al Qaeda inflitrated American Elite forces

Gives a detailed review of the events leading to 9-11. One of the books strong points is it gives short biographies of the terrorists involved in al qaeda and the ideological background of the terrorists.

Interesting Read

The history this book details was intriguing. I usually use audible while following along on my smart device. The author skips too much while reading and that is rather annoying because then I get lost when following along. Fair warning if your wanting to read along while listening

Nothing new here

Disappointed in Bergen for manipulating facts in Holy War, Inc differently then the information provided in The Longest War.
