Inhaltsangabe
How was it possible for one middle-aged Saudi millionaire to have threatened the world's only superpower? This is the question at the centre of Jonathan Randal's riveting account of Osama bin Laden's role in the rise of terrorism in the Middle East. Randal - a journalist whose experience of the Middle East spans the past forty years - makes clear how Osama's life epitomized the fatal collision between the twenty-first century West and the Islamic world. His investigations into the history of 'Al-Qaeda' produce all kinds of surprises, such as the real sources of Osama's money, and the possibility that Osama offered the Saudis his band of radical Islamist fighters to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991. In this latest edition, Randal explores the background and ideologies of Al-Qaeda and its leader. With his long-maintained sources in the Middle East and his intimate understanding of the region, Randal gives us a clearer explanation than any we have had of why, where and how the world's most feared terrorist operated.

Verkäuferbewertung 3 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: Good. 346 pages. cover laminate worn, text lightly tannedHow is it possible for one middle-aged Saudi millionaire to threaten the worl d?s only superpower? This is the question at the center of Jonathan Randal?s riveting, timely account of Osama bin Laden?s role in the rise of terrorism i n the Middle East. Randal?a journalist whose experience of the Middle East spa ns the past forty years?makes clear how Osama?s life epitomizes the fatal co llision between twenty-first-century Islam and the West, and he describes the co urse of Osama?s estrangement from both the West and the Saudi petro-monarchy o f which his family is a part. He examines Osama?s terrorist activities before September 11, 2001, and shows us how, after the attack on the World Trade Center , Osama presented the West with something new in the annals of contemporary terr orism: an independently wealthy entrepreneur with a seemingly worldwide followin g ready to do his bidding. Randal explores the possibility that Osama offered th e Saudis his Al-Qaeda forces to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991; he t races the current sources of Osama?s money; and he tells us why the Iraq war h as played into the hands of the terrorists.With his long-maintained sources in the Middle East and his intimate understanding of the region, Randal gives us a clearer explanation than any we have had of the whys and wherefores of the wo rld?s most prominent and feared terrorist.
