Inside the Jihad: My Life With Al Qaeda, A Spy's Story Audiobook

" Insightful, compelling and very well-written. I couldn't put the story down. "

" 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. "

" This is a very good read! The first third is about the authors life growing up and the events that led him to become a secret agent of the French Intelligence. The 2nd third is about his days inside the jihad and is very good too. The last part is about his life in London trying to infiltrate the various cells in the British capital. "

" Highly recommended! Details not money but determination can help you do whatever you want to do...eye opening accounts of how whole network works in the back-end. "

" A stunning account of the methods and training that goes on in Al Quaeda. The account of the only person known to have penetrated the terrorist network and who left and lived to tell about it. Told in a matter of fact way this tale is, frankly, chilling. "

" This was a fasinating book...very interesting look inside thier heads, explained more then I ever wanted to know! "

" A very interesting peak into the mind of a person who infiltrated Afghani terrorist training camps in his own personal Jihad. "

" Fascinating tale of a Moroccan Muslim living in Brussels and how he came to infiltrate al-Qaeda and attend one of their training camps in Afghanistan. This book completely blew me away and really reveals how badly America was hated before George W. Bush was president. "

" Describes the life of an informant who infiltrated al-Qaeda and other terror cells in Europe, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. "

" The clunky writing does not detract from an otherwise compelling, insightful story. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Afghanistan and European intelligence agencies. "

" This is an excellent book on how first of all this dude even became a spy. He wasn't looking to become a spy lets say. Next it's great on an insight into terrorism. Whats really going on and how good their training actually is. "

" Very good book. One you can't put down. Great insight into Jihadists and it reads like a Bourne novel. I liked it a lot. "

" Interesting look at a mujahaddin pre-911. "

" When I read this it changed my view of who terrorist jihadis were versus the image painted by mainstream media. "

" The pages fly off this book. The experiences are incredible, although sometimes I questions the authenticity of the writer. But he is soooo conflicted you and the writer both don't know what he is doing. Awesome read. "

" Interesting. Lots of names that are very similar but an enlightening book (look back and list of characters often!) "

" A really interesting book that gives a different view of a Muslim's jihad. "

" An inside perspective "

" Anyone really interested to know what it's like to be in the intelligence community, and what really happens at those camps in Afghanistan you MUST read this story. "

" Sbg muslim, buku ini mengajak gw utk berpikir obyektif terhadap para teroris yg mengatasnamakan islam "

" A fascinating portrait of the internal culture of the nascent global jihad, despite the author's somewhat petulant tone. "

" this is a very interesting book. i love it "

" An interesting book and fun to read. That said, I found myself questioning the truthfulness of the author. He appears to be at heart an opportunist and not at all committed to anything...in short a user in every since of the word. "

" I was at times fascinated by this book. I can't believe some of the things this guy did and remained alive. It's a good insight to the mind of a modern Muslim. "

" I learned a lot while reading the book. The insider story was believable and insightful. This book introduced me to many aspects of Islam and was the start for me to read more about the Islam. "

" At the beginning and throughout I was always on my toes as to whether or not I actually trusted what he was telling me. I often wondered who's side he is on. I read this for a class. Informative for the ambiguity of the author's motives. "

" a story of a spy. it is a fascinating tale of a spy who went through different phases of life. it shows you inside picture of how Al Qaeda works. interesting read "

" A look inside the training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan, from someone who trained there. Insane, gave me some perspective that you just can't get. "

" Anyone really interested to know what it's like to be in the intelligence community, and what really happens at those camps in Afghanistan you MUST read this story. "

" Fascinating tale of a Moroccan Muslim living in Brussels and how he came to infiltrate al-Qaeda and attend one of their training camps in Afghanistan. This book completely blew me away and really reveals how badly America was hated before George W. Bush was president. "

" This was a very slow reading book. It was interesting. "
