Summary: What I Saw on TV convinced me
Comment: I "saw" the author on TV earlier this week (his face disguised and voice altered)and his answers to the ditsy interviewer's questions convinced me to pick up this book. It explains far more than our media ever could about how the hatred we see in the eyes of those Islamic groups came to be, and why America and the West are the targets of their hatred. Many of his fellow Islamics consider Osama bin Laden to be their version of our Revolutionary era leaders - leading them in a just and holy war against a tyrannical government. Yet we see them as "radicals" and "terrorists". If you want a fascinating look at both sides of an issue that will dominate our news and lives for years to come, you cannot do better that Anonymous' "Through Our Enemies Eyes". Here's hoping our own government leaders will read it and absorb some of the knowlege that this book imparts!!!

Summary: Finally, an expertly written book on Bin Laden
Comment: After reading numerous books by so-called "terrorism experts," I was worried that the bookshelves would sadly fill with ill-informed literary diarrhea about one of today's most important issues. This book, however, provides a refreshing and skillful account of the rise of bin Ladin and Sunni extremism. Unlike other authors who churn out manuscripts with little substantive experience in the matter on which they are writing, the author obviously works in the intelligence community on counterterrorism issues. Most other books about bin Ladin are nothing more than a collection of warrants and press clippings, but this book provides substantive analysis of bin Ladin's pinnacle role in the rise of global terrorism. This is by far the best book I have read on the subject and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a better understanding of what the country was facing prior to September 11, 2001. It also provides an alarming look at the current threat posed by al-Qaeda and Sunni extremist elements. If you want an uplifting book about how the U.S. Government safely has its hands around the issue of terrorism, this is not the book for you. If you want to learn about what the country is facing and how menacing and developed this new adversary really is, this is the book for you. It is written for the average reader, it is not an academic opus for the over-educated.

Summary: 10 stars and should be required reading
Comment: This is a book every public library should own and we are donating our copy to our local library. It is not an easy read for an American populace whose literature tastes have been dumbed down.
Here is an author who comes as close to being a fly on the wall when it comes to Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the fastest growing part if Islam which is the poor, disenfranchised and radically violent men and women under the age of 35. My real concern is that our elected leaders may read the words the author has written but will not head the advise he offers, and in ignoring his words that what happened on 9/11 will pale in comparison with what will happen in the next few years.
I was concerned when reading how the intelligence community the United States has, seems to prefer the ad nauseum political correctness approach to taking terrorism and preventative measures seriously. Especially during the Clinton administration.
But in reading the book you may discover that the present Bush administration may suffer the same failures if they do not make Al Qaeda the MAIN focus of terrorism since the Saddam/Iraq problem is/was a walk in the park. He didn't have the rabid, strap on bombs, willing to die for the cause warriors that Osama Bin Laden has. His army and Republican Guard paled in comparison to the warriors that Osama Bin Laden has which number in the millions.
