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.
