The Making of a Terrorist

AuthorJonathan Randal
Rating
Price237

How is it possible for one middle-aged Saudi millionaire to threaten the worldâ€™s only superpower? This is the question at the center of Jonathan Randalâ€™s riveting, timely account of Osama bin Ladenâ€™s role in the rise of terrorism in the Middle East. Randalâ€“a journalist whose experience of the Middle East spans the past forty yearsâ€“makes clear how Osamaâ€™s life epitomizes the fatal collision between twenty-first-century Islam and the West, and he describes the course of Osamaâ€™s estrangement from both the West and the Saudi petro-monarchy of which his family is a part. He examines Osamaâ€™s terrorist activities before September 11, 2001, and shows us how, after the attack on the World Trade Center, Osama presented the West with something new in the annals of contemporary terrorism: an independently wealthy entrepreneur with a seemingly worldwide following ready to do his bidding. Randal explores the possibility that Osama offered the Saudis his Al-Qaeda forces to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991; he traces the current sources of Osamaâ€™s money; and he tells us why the Iraq war has played into the hands of the terrorists.
