Sobre este artículo
Dulles, Virginia: Brassey's, February 2003. Trade Paperback. New. No remainder mark. Not damaged. xxii + 394 pages.
The author, former Chief of the CIA Counterterrorism Center's Bin Laden Station, argues that to win the war against terrorism, we must first stop dismissing militant Muslims as "extremists" or "religious fanatics." Formulating a successful military strategy requires that we must see the enemy as they perceive themselves: highly trained and motivated soldiers who fervently believe their cause is righteous. The author describes how militants throughout the Islamic world are enraged by what they believe is Western aggression against their people, religion, and culture.
