Synopsis

During the 1980's the U.S. Government supported Al-Quaida in the fight against Russian forces in Afghanistan by supplying training, weapons, and support. During the next decade, Al-Quaida moved to Bosnia, and actively took part in that conflict, using the area as a recruiting and training ground, and moved from an isolated fighting force to a global menace. This book reveals previously unknown history and details, and explores hidden truths: the role of radical Islam in the Bosnian war; the role played by Al-Qaeda in this terrible conflict; how the U.S. government supported and encouraged radical groups at this time, and how Osama Bin Laden took advantage of this support to build the world's foremost terrorist organization. Written by a former intelligence analyst of the National Security agency, this is an insightful and controversial book about the policies and events that shaped the world we live in today and is required reading for anyone interested in our difficult times.
