SEARCH FOR AL QAEDA, THE - ITS LEADERSHIP, IDEOLOGY, AND FUTERE

'The Search for al Qaeda' reviews how al Qaeda was created and developed, presenting authoritative and chilling background on "The Manhattan Raid," but Riedel focuses more closely on what has happened to it since that awful day. He outlines al Qaeda's ultimate goals, which are to drive America out of the Muslim world, to destroy Israel, and to create a jihadist caliphate larger than the Ottoman Empire at itsheight.
