I wanted to hang on to this one and read it again but I decided to post it so someone else could enjoy it.
This book contained just the right amount of detail; it was easy to read yet very informative. The reader is given insight into the birth and growth of the Islamic Fundamental movement; the alliance of Al Queda with Al-Jihad in 1998, and the events that led up to 9/11. Most stunning is the American intelligence that could have prevented the terrorist attacks on New York, however it was not properly shared between the CIA and FBI due to conflict between the agencies.
I highly recommend this book.
