Finished in 2003, this fictional memoir is written from the point
of view of an Al-Qaeda fighter and details his personal involvement
in a jihad, holy war, against the western powers. The story is told
in 2007, as the narrator remembers his 20 years of conflict. Osama
bin Laden is involved throughout the story and, while the period
from mid-2003 to 2007 is entirely speculative, chapters detailing
the formation and development of Al-Qaeda are accurate and based on
extensive research. Quotations from The Qur'an are sourced from
'The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an', an explanatory translation by
Mohammad Marmaduke Pickthall, published by the Islamic Cultural
Centre, London NW8 7RG. Proclamations and declarations by Al-Qaeda
leaders in quotation marks are real. For clarity, dates are given
in the western calendar.
