Review
"A brilliant book... Al Qaeda is out in the world in large numbers and Phillip Smucker's book is the first comprehensive account of how this happened." Charles Heyman, editor of Jane's World Armies; "Only Phil Smucker could head into Afghanistan on a mission to capture Osama bin Laden, armed with just an empty whiskey bottle and an eight-foot carpet to wrap up his prisoner. Along the way he uncovers treachery and skulduggery on a mammoth scale. Rip-roaring stuff." BBC correspondent, Jacky Rowland"
