Osama bin Laden’s words carry a great deal of weight in the West.
When he speaks, or allegedly speaks, we listen. But what about the
words of other key leaders in the Al-Qa'ida terrorist network? We
can learn how to conduct the war on terrorism more successfully
when we study their own manuals, written for their followers. But
few Americans, despite their expertise in intelligence or security,
know Arabic. Fortunately Norman Cigar is fluent, and here he
presents the first English translation of Abd al-Aziz
al-Muqrin’s“A Practical Course for Guerrilla War.” Saudi
security forces killed Al-Muqrin, Al-Qa'ida’s leader in the
Arabian Peninsula, in June 2004. Published posthumously, his
Arabic-language manual provides a window into Al-Qa’ida’s
strategic thinking and into how these terrorists operate.
Accompanying the text’s translation is material on Al-Muqrin’s
life and Cigar’s cogent and detailed analysis of the key ideas in
the jihadist’s doctrine and the results of Al-Qa'ida’s
insurgency efforts on the Arabian Peninsula. This important work
provides a primary source for students in the professional military
education system who want to read a variety of military thinkers
and develop insights into all war fighting philosophies, especially
those emanating from non-Western sources. Academics, think tank
analysts, and government officials in the United States and abroad
will also find the work relevant to their own work on Al-Qa'ida and
insurgency theory. With a foreword by Julian Lewis, MP, the Shadow
Defence Minister for Great Britain.
