Mass market paperback. Condition: Good. xviii, 233, [5] pages. Some cover wear and page discoloration noted. Steven Emerson (born June 6, 1954) is an American journalist, author, and authority on national security, terrorism, and Islamic extremism. From 1986 to 1989 he worked for U.S. News and World Report as a senior editor spe…cializing in national security issues.[10][13] In 1988, he published Secret Warriors: Inside the Covert Military Operations of the Reagan Era, a strongly critical review of Ronald Reagan-era efforts to strengthen U.S. covert capabilities. Reviewing the book, The New York Times wrote: "Among the grace notes of Mr. Emerson's fine book are many small, well-told stories". In 1990, he co-authored The Fall of Pan Am 103, which argued that Iran was behind the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Reviewing the book, The New York Times wrote: "Mr. Emerson and Mr. Duffy have put together a surpassing account of the investigation to date, rich with drama and studded with the sort of anecdotal details that give the story. depth and weight." The newspaper listed it as an "editors' choice" on their Best Sellers List, and cited it as a "notable book of the year". In 1991, he published Terrorist: The Inside Story of the Highest-Ranking Iraqi Terrorist Ever to Defect to the West, detailing how Iraq spread and increased its terror network in the 1980s with U.S. support. From a review by Daniel Pipes: Adnan Awad, a Palestinian Arab from near Haifa, is the "highest-ranking Iraqi terrorist" of the title. Befriended by Mohammed Rashid, he quickly fell into the clutches of Abu Ibrahim, the head of the 15 May Organization and one of Iraq's leading agents of terror. Needing someone respectable to carry out operations in the West, Abu Ibrahim pressured a reluctant Awad to work for him by demonstrating that he could close down Awad's construction business. Feeling trapped, Awad accepted Abu Ibrahim's orders. In August 1982, he set off for Geneva with a Semtex-lined suitcase. His mission: to blow up the Noga Hilton hotel because its owner was a Jewish supporter of Israel. On reaching Switzerland, however, Awad turned himself over to the U.S. Embassy. During the next two years, he worked with Swiss intelligence. Then, in late 1984, he came to the United States to testify against Mohammed Rashid. As that case slowly wends it way through the Greek court system, Awad moves from one American city to another under the auspices of the federal Witness Protection Program. The one thing a reader can do is check for factual mistakes, illogic and internal contradiction. Combing the book for such flaws, I found that "Terrorist" stands up well. Awad does make a few questionable assertions but nothing that discredits his testimony. On all key matters Awad's account of his personal history, even when sometimes implausible-sounding, does check out; and the impersonal portions of his testimony have stood up to serious scrutiny, both private and governmental. Accordingly, Awad's sensational tale exposes much about Middle East terrorism. Steven Emerson is a leading investigative journalist dealing with intelligence matters; in "Terrorist" as in "The Fall of Pan Am 103," he is at his best, piecing together a complex and elusive story. A fascinating story such as Awad's speaks for itself, without hype. "Terrorist" offers an exciting and original glimpse into the subterranean, both in the Middle East and here. The reviewer was director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing as First Edition is present and printing line starts with 2 above, indicating if First Edition is not there, it is a second (or later) printing.

SYNOPSIS: Iraq wants him dead or alive--preferably dead. They've put a multimillion-dollar contract on his head. Terrorist tells the true story of the Iraqi Terror Network--who they are, what they are, how they work, and what they're going to do next! Adnan Awad was a high-ranking member of the Abu Ibrahim group--one of the most shadowy, ruthless, and bloody terrorist organizations in the world. Based in Baghdad, Ibrahim worked hand in hand with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein plotting the deaths of thousands of Americans. Only one ham has ever escaped from Ibrahim's iron grasp--Adnan--and here he gives the first inside view of the massive Iraqi terror network around the world. Adnan, the highest-ranking terrorist ever to defect to the West, is the major intelligence asset the United States has in the war on terrorism. When war in the Persian Gulf erupted, he could have been the CIA's and FBI's chief counterterrorism weapon--but he wasn't allowed to be. Terrorist is not only the personal story of the making and unmaking of an Iraqi terrorist. It is also the shocking and scandalous story of American complicity in the creation of the Iraqi terror empire. Brilliant reporting and research shows that, over a period of time, Iraq had developed the most far-flung terrorist organization in the world, surpassing even Libya and Syria. However, right up to the day before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the United States deliberately turned a blind eye to the massive evidence of Iraqi terrorism around the world, all the while secretly selling Iraq military technology. Terrorist is a moving and shocking human drama, but, far more important, it is the only inside and accurate picture we have of the world's most dangerous and evil forces. Steven A. Emerson is a Washington-based correspondent specializing in national security issues. His reports appear on CNN, and he frequently publishes in The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Republic. The author of three other books, he is a three-time recipient of the Investigative Reporters and Editors Award for best national investigative reporting.
