I'm almost finished with it, and I have to say, he does cover a lot of area that has not been covered about bin Laden. It is up to date, but he falters in places with speculation instead of using proof.....it tends to water down the facts he does have, imo.

Has anyone else here read it?

I'd recommend it, despite some of the book's flaws, for anyone who is interested an intelligent easy to understand summary of the origins of al Qaeda and how it grew to it's present state.

I guess no one else has read this book. Well, if anyone does and has an opinion, I'd love to know it. Thanks all. :)
