If you see the Black Banners coming from Khurasan, join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice; no power will be able to stop them. The Black Banners is the ultimate insiders account of the realities of counter-terrorism. During a decade on the front lines, as the FBIs lead investigator into Al Qaeda, Ali Soufan thwarted plots around the world & won some of the most important confessions from terrorists
- without laying so much as a hand on them. Most of these stories have never been reported before, & never by anyone with such intimate firsthand knowledge. Soufan takes us into the interrogation rooms, into the hideouts. He even gives us a ringside seat at bin Ladens personal celebration of the 9/11 bombings. This is a gripping blow-by-blow account of the ten-year hunt for the most dangerous & well-connected Islamist terrorists
- some of whom are still at large. In The Black Banners Soufan also explains why the pervasive use of torture is not helping in the War on Terror, & how a more enlightened approach to intelligence is not only possible, but essential. This is a story not just of intrigue & bravery, but of empathy. He shows us how terrorists think & operate. & he shows that through this understanding, they can be stopped & finally brought to justice. Ali Soufan knows the truth about the successes & failures of countering terrorism. His knowledge is essential to us all.
