Since 9/11, al-Qaida has become one of the most infamous and widely
discussed terrorist organizations in the world, with affiliates
spread across the globe. However, little-known are the group's
activities within Afghanistan itself, something which Anne
Stenersen examines in this book. Using an array of unique primary
sources, she presents an alternative narrative of al-Qaida's goals
and strategies prior to 9/11. She argues that al-Qaida's actions
were not just an ideological expression of religious fanaticism and
violent anti-Americanism, but that they were actually far more
practical and organised, with a more revolutionary and Middle
Eastern-focused agenda than previously thought. Through Stenersen's
analysis, we see how al-Qaida employed a dual strategy: with a
small section focused on staging international terrorist attacks,
but at the same time a larger part dedicated to building a
resilient and cohesive organization that would ultimately serve as
a vanguard for future Islamist revolutions.
