From the rear cover

*"Bin Laden's genesis and genius are all chronicled in Jacquard's sweeping account of the Saudi born terrorist and his brotherhood. The book rightfully brings into focus the role of modern media, especially satellite TV and the Internet, in bin Laden's cunning wager that he could defeat the U.S. as a world power. A chilling read, a must read for all who continue to grapple with the twin legacy of hatred and hope from September 11."--Bruce B. Lawrence, author of "Shattering the Myth: Islam Beyond Violenc"e
