Book Reviews of Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America, Revised Edition

Book Review: Heavily recommended, with big caveats.
Summary: 4 Stars

Written by the former head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit, the book documents Al Qaeda's historical rise, goals, and motivations. Although the author is an American patriot, you should be aware that it generally gives Al Qaeda the benefit of the doubt insofar as motivations and history are concerned. In that respect, if it's the only book you read on the subject you may be doing yourself a disservice because Scheuer does have a serious man-crush on Al Qaeda as an operational organization and Bin Laden as a great, if sometimes misguided man.

Scheuer's second and third books (Imperial Hubris and Marching Toward Hell) are also heavily recommended, but they are much more polemical and political in nature than the first. In other words, be prepared for blunt, politically incorrect and iconoclastic writing. They should be read extremely critically, but are a nice change of pace from the usual euphemism-filled and cautiously middle-of-the-road circle-jerk analsys that often comes out of Washington.

Summary of Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America, Revised Edition

This seminal work on modern terrorism assesses the changes and continuities in Osama bin Laden's thinking since 2002. In order to win the war against terrorism, argues Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA's bin Laden Unit, we must first stop dismissing militant Muslims as "extremists" or "religious fanatics." Formulating a successful military strategy requires that we see the enemy as they perceive themselves-highly trained and motivated soldiers who believe their cause is righteous. Scheuer shows that the war has accelerated the transformation of bin Laden and al Qaeda from man and organization to, respectively, a symbol of leadership and heroism and a worldwide movement.
