Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

Usama Bin Laden's greatest fear was not capture or death, but the exposure of al-Qaeda's secrets. At great risk to themselves and the entire mission, the U.S. Special Operations Forces, who carried out the Abbottabad raid that killed Bin Laden, took an additional eighteen minutes to collect Bin Laden's hard drives and thereby expose al-Qaeda's secrets.

In this ground-breaking book, Nelly Lahoud dives into Bin Laden's files and meticulously distils the nearly 6,000 Arabic pages of private communications. For the first time, al-Qaeda's closely-guarded secrets are laid bare, shattering misconceptions and revealing how and what Bin Laden communicated with his associates, his plans for future attacks, and al-Qaeda's hostility towards countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan. Lahoud presents first-hand accounts of al-Qaeda from 9/11 until the elimination of Bin Laden, as told through his own words and those of his family and closest associates.
