Publisher Description: No other Westerner, let alone American, has been closer to the leadership of Al-Qaeda than Adam Gadahn, aka "Azzam the American." The California-raised Gadahn was a media trailblazer for Al-Qaeda; he used his video production skills in the service of terrorism, creating videos for Osama bin Laden and other top leaders of the organization, and crafting the organization's earliest outreach and recruitment video content. |
