Inside the Jihad: My Life with Al Qaeda
"Inside the Jihadis the astonishing, well-told story of Omar Nasiri (a pseudonym), who penetrated al-Qaeda's training camps in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s as a spy for France's intelligence services.    Al Qaeda defectors...have provided accounts of the Afghan camps, but nothing available publicly approaches the level of detail that Nasiri gives here." --Washington Post, November 17, 2006"Inside the Jihadreads like a John le Carre novel.  It is replete with tales of phony passports, envelopes stuffed with cash and cloak-and-daggar meetings...Mr. Nasiri's account of the camps is detailed and chilling." --New York Times, November 17, 2006"A chillingly detailed portrait of life inside the Afghan training camps... a unique insider's perspective into Al Qaeda's global jihad." Daily Telegraph "Inside the Jihad reads like a John le Carre novel. It is replete with tales of phony passports, envelopes stuffed with cash and cloak-and-dagger meetings...Mr. Nasiri's account of the camps is detailed and chilling." The New York Times""A good read...the real value of Nasiri's memoir lies in the insight into the minds of young, mostly European Muslims." --Middle East Quarterly"It is a fascinating story of a man who says he betrayed his brothers to the police and then had contact with senior al Qaeda leaders at a terror training camp in Afghanistan -- all the while spying for French, British and German intelligence" --CNN.com--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
