The book rightfully brings into focus the role of modern media, especially satellite TV and the Internet, in bin Laden's cunning wager that he could defeat the U.S. as a world power. A chilling read, a must read for all who continue to grapple with the twin legacy of hatred and hope from September 11."--Bruce B.
