The al-Qaeda Threat: An Analytical Guide to al-Qaeda's Tactics & Targets

Rating:
Summary: The Counterterrorism Benchmark Work on al-Qaeda
Review: Both Ben and Aimee have provided what I call a "landmark", baseline study that is destined, if not already, to become the counterterrorism benchmark on al-Qaeda for all levels of law enforcement (federal, state, and local) and DoD. The book is easy to follow, well structured, sequential, logical, and useful. This work provides anyone with the ability to grasp the "mechanics" of al-Qaeda sponsored terrorism with a central reference.......bringing alive al-Qaeda for the reader. Their in-depth study, through meticulous research, translations from excerpts, and summarizations in an analytical fashion gives the reader a sense of what it all means. These are the golden nuggets of the book.

What Ben and Aimee have done for the United States and other countries in The al-Qaeda Threat: An Analytical Guide to al-Qaeda's Tactics & Targets, should be taken seriously. The only detailed, critical, analytical account done on al-Qaeda to date that every Law Enforcement Agency, Senator and Congressional representative, DoD component, and academic institution should have. For anyone seriously devoted to understanding al-Qaeda, this is a must-have reference.
