Book Review: Inside Al-Qaeda and Taliban - Beyond Bin Laden and 9/11

The book is great and is full of undisclosed facts. It gives great insights on how Al-Qaeda has survived even after a head-on collision with the US, the death of Bin Laden etc. It also presents some interesting findings on the Mumbai attack of 26/11. However, I felt at some point that the author is sympathetic towards Major Haroon, one of the key players in the Mumbai attack, but the author also disapproves of the meaningless attacks on civilians. Though throughout the author refrains from passing any direct judgement and sticks to just presenting the facts. The author was abducted and murdered in May 2011 in Pakistan.
