Here he gives the full inside story of the CIA's covert funding of an Islamic jihad against Soviet forces in Afghanistan, explores how this sowed the seeds of bn Laden's rise, traces how he built his global network and brings to life the dramatic battles within the US government over national security. Above all, he lays bare American intelligence's continual failure to grasp the rising threat of terrrorism in the years leading to 9\/11 - and its devastating consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Riveting ... the finest historical narrative so far on the origins of al Qaeda in the post-Soviet rubble of Afghanistan ... provides fresh details and helps explain the motivations behind many crucial decisions' The New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'A remarkable book ... the CIA itself would be hard put to beat his grasp of global events' New York Review of Books\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141020808\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.1 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50110935892272,"sku":"Trans_9780141020808","price":975.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81hwvHOVbiL_715c8de5-9bdd-4b97-b0f0-2fbd55d50943.jpg?v=1757076525","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/ghost-wars-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
