Agent Storm - My Life Inside al-Qaeda by Morten Storm Morten Storm
was an unlikely Jihadist. A 6'1" red-haired Dane, Storm spent his
teens with a biker gang or in jail. But after converting to Islam
he embarked on a transformation that led from a militant madrassa
in Yemen to a close friendship with Anwar al-Awlaki, the
American-born cleric who would emerge as al-Qaeda's greatest threat
to the West. Then Storm's story took another dramatic twist. He
lost his faith and was recruited by the CIA, MI6 and MI5, becoming
a double agent. His ultimate mission: to bring down his mentor
al-Awlaki. This is the searing memoir of a man who sought purpose
in a community of believers before rejecting their extremist
ideology. In a quest for atonement he lived undercover for five
years, travelling the world to complete high profile missions. As
well as single-handedly thwarting multiple terrorist attacks, he
led the intelligence services to some of al-Qaeda's most dangerous
terrorists, all the while knowing his own life was expendable.
Agent Storm takes readers inside the Jihadist world like never
before, showing the daily life of zealous men set on mass murder:
from dodging drones with al-Qaeda leaders in the Arabian desert to
Jihadist gyms in Birmingham. It also gives a rare look inside the
world's most powerful spy agencies, including their tradecraft,
after-hours carousing - and their ruthless use of a beautiful
blonde in a honey trap. Filled with hair-raising close calls, coded
messages and chilling duplicity, Agent Storm is a captivating
real-life thriller.
