Table of ContentsReviewsAyman al-Zawahiri is the essential figure in understanding the rise of al-Qaeda and its persistence beyond the death of its leader. Sometimes described as the 'brains' behind Osama bin Laden, he may best be thought of as the glue that held this fractious organization together, however imperfectly. His talents and failings are amply described by Sajjan Gohel in this important and compelling account. * Lawrence Wright, Author of The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and The Road to 9/11 * For a half century Ayman al-Zawahiri was the ideological brains of the global jihadist movement. This illuminating biography brilliantly tells the story of the Egyptian terrorist. Exceptionally well researched, this book travels from the assassination of Anwar Sadat to the fall of Kabul. It is essential reading for anyone interested in transnational terrorism and al-Qaeda. * Bruce Riedel, Brookings Institution, and author of The Search For al-Qaeda * In this scholarly and accessible book, Sajjan Gohel brings to life the tale of one of the world's most notorious terrorists. Al-Zawahiri's story has never been better told. * Tim Marshall, Author of Prisoners of Geography * It has been said that 'all history is biography'. There is much truth in this when it comes to the history of Al-Qaeda. Sajjan Gohel's masterful biography of Ayman al-Zawahiri- who served for over five decades at the core of global jihadism- offers an original interpretation, based on a wealth of new sources, that will become required reading for students of terrorism. * Alex P. Schmid, Director of the Terrorism Research Initiative * Gohel's detailed history of al-Zawahiri, interwoven with the story of al-Qaeda, is well-researched and insightful. A great contribution to the field of terrorism studies. * James J.F. Forest, Editor-in-Chief of Perspectives on Terrorism, author of Digital Influence Mercenaries * Author InformationSajjan M. Gohel is International Security Director at the Asia-Pacific Foundation. He's also Visiting Teacher at the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) and Chairman of NATO DEEP's Global Threats Analysis Group (GTAG).
