The book delves into the political, social, and ideological factors that led to the formation of the terrorist group, highlighting key figures such as Osama bin Laden, Sayyid Qutb, and Abdullah Azzam. Wright examines the historical context, including the Afghan-Soviet war and the rise of Islamic radicalism. The book discusses the failures of U.S. intelligence agencies, the complex web of jihadist movements, and the global impact of al-Qaeda’s ideology, offering a deep analysis of terrorism and modern geopolitics.
