Review
"Among the 'war on terrorism cognoscenti' in and around Washington, D.C., mere word-of-mouth established [THROUGH OUR ENEMIES' EYES] as required reading for anyone seeking to understand bin Laden, the movement that he cofounded and led, and the profound threat that it posed (and continues to pose) to the United States and to international peace. Accordingly, the book's reputation spread as a thoroughly reliable, trenchant, and commendably clear exegesis of al Qaeda's ideology, goals, and alarming ambitions. . . . The key to success in warfare, the Chinese strategist Sun Tzu wrote, is to 'know your enemy and you will know yourself.' In THROUGH OUR ENEMIES' EYES, Scheuer answers the first part of that irrefutable formulation." --From the foreword by Bruce Hoffman, senior fellow, Combating Terrorism Center, U.S. Military Academy, and author of INSIDE TERRORISM
Product Description
This seminal work on modern terrorism is the one book all of us should read in order to truly understand the reasons why radical Muslims like Osama bin Laden and his followers have declared war on America and the West. This newly revised edition assesses the changes and continuities in Osama bin Laden's thinking since 2002. The author details the overwhelmingly positive benefits that al Qaeda and Sunni militants have derived from the allied invasion of Iraq. President Bush's actions have transformed bin Laden into a symbol of leadership and heroism in a worldwide Islamic movement.
