5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant piece of investigative journalism, 22 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is a fascinating investigation into the 'most wanted man in the world' - Osama bin Laden, and his al Qaeda group and senior lieutenant Ramzi Yousef.
In the light of the events of September 11 much of the book seems almost prophetic, particularly the warnings about the likely future of terrorism. This has to be the book for ANYone interested in current affairs and the terrorist threat facing the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New Jackals, 1 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I find it astonishing that this is the first good book to comeout on Osama bin Laden and Ramzi Yousef.

President Clinton hasidentified bin Laden as America's number one terrorist threat, and yet nobody in the so-called 'serious media' has really bothered to investigate the guy. Thankfully we now have this excellent book, which gets behind the headlines and explains bin Laden's motivation and anger. I found the details of his early years fascinating, especially since the US media have conspicuously failed to explain why he keeps bombing (or trying to bomb) American embassies and kill US servicemen and women around the world.

More than half the book is about Ramzi Yousef, who the author describes as the first soldier bin Laden sent against the West. I found the details of Yousef's crimes absolutely astonishing - if there was a terrorist league table, then Yousef would surely be at number one.

Excellent book. I recommend it to anyone interested in international affairs. I hope the President will read it to understand why people like bin Laden are so angry with the USA (what can we expect if we support undemocratic regimes like the Saudi government).

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, 2 Jan 2002
By A Customer
...This book really disturbed me in that is describes the current reality of world terrorism. It shows that all decisions are inter-connected and we require far more debate before governmental actions are taken that impact us all. A 'must read' and I implore all to do so.
