Publisher's summary

An inside look at al-Qaeda from 9/11 to the death of its founder—told through the words of Bin Laden and his closest circle

Usama Bin Laden’s greatest fear was not capture or death, but the exposure of al-Qaeda’s secrets. At great risk to themselves and the entire mission, the US Special Operations Forces, who carried out the Abbottabad raid that killed Bin Laden, took an additional eighteen minutes to collect Bin Laden’s hard drives and thereby expose al-Qaeda’s secrets.

In this ground-breaking book, Nelly Lahoud dives into Bin Laden’s files and meticulously distills the nearly six thousand pages of Arabic private communications. For the first time, al-Qaeda’s closely guarded secrets are laid bare, shattering misconceptions and revealing how and what Bin Laden communicated with his associates, his plans for future attacks, and al-Qaeda’s hostility toward countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan. Lahoud presents firsthand accounts of al-Qaeda from 9/11 until the elimination of Bin Laden, as told through his own words and those of his family and closest associates.

Incredibly Fascinating….

A masterfully arranged and interpreted collection of inarguably one of the most significant intelligence scoops of the 21st century.

Revealing

Much has to be rewritten about al Qaeda’s history after Lahoud book. Reasonably good narrator.
Important book to read in the field of terrorism.

Not engaging

I think the author is an expert and has done great research on the papers obtained at the airport. But the story sounds like patchwork of chapters that are not nearly woven to make it engaging. I could barely make it to about 1 hr 30 min.
