The terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center on September
11, 2001 was the climax of a course plotted by Osama Bin Laden to
bring about his apocalyptic vision of a decisive clash between the
Western and Moslem worlds. This timely volume details the
organizational workings and belief system of Bin Laden's brutal
campaign. The authors explore the background and objectives of the
attacks, the elaborate planning that went into them, and the
process of their practical execution. In addition to its factual
account, The Globalization of Terror makes a significant
contribution to scholarly and theoretical research dealing with
international terror. The book offers a unique analysis of the
Afghan "alumni," who had previously fought the Soviets in the
1980s, within the overall tapestry related to modern international
terror. The authors detail how their activities evolved from a
movement of national self-defense to the militant worldview
identified with radical Islam. The book reveals, as well, the
organizational structure so carefully erected by Bin Laden and his
associates, in order to realize the vision of a worldwide Islamic
Caliphate in practical terms. The book is intended to work as a set
of guidelines for newcomers to the world of international terrorism
including anti-terror task forces, heads of security companies as
well as professionals in the field. The importance of The
Globalization of Terror lies in its clear presentation and precise
analysis regarding the dimensions of the danger international
terror poses to the free world, and in its recommendations for the
necessary strategy to prevent the recurrence of acts of large-scale
terror.
