" I thought this was a good look at the spy world from an opposing side. I also thought it was a telling glimpse into a much more sophisticated network focused on learning all they can in order to be successful at bringing down their enemy. The book expresses how driven these networks of men are. They are funded, committed, and convinced of their mission, yet disenfranchised from their own countries in pursuit of their jihad. No questions this was an informative book, and chilling as Nasiri goes into great detail about the training of these al qaeda men. I certainly read the book feeling alarmed as one by one assumptions I had about Al Qaeda's sophistication fell to the wayside. This book is an education, and it is a warning. I'll leave it to you to decide on it's authenticity. "
