Al-Qaeda : The Terror Network That Threatens the World Jane Corbin - 1st.ed. - New York Thunders Mouth Press/Nation Books 28 August 2002 - 313 p. ;14.61 x 2.54 x 22.23 cm

Jane Corbin, Emmy nominee and the BBC's award-winning senior correspondent specializing in the Middle East, has broken many stories on the growth of Al Qaeda over the past decade. Here she explores how one man with a medieval view of good and evil, living in a cave, brought the world's only remaining superpower to its knees. Exploring the methodology of Al Qaeda (The Base), Corbin shows how they used the training instilled in them in the Afghan terror camps to stay below the radar of the world's most sophisticated intelligence agency. Here, too, are descriptions of the parallel deadly plots to kill hundreds in Europe, only uncovered in their final stages. Further attacks are not only feared but also expected. Al Qaeda continues to grow. Bin Laden is still at large and has a growing if silent constituency now.
