The Hunt for KSM: Inside the Pursuit and Takedown of the Real 9\/11 Mastermind<\/a><\/strong> by Terry McDermott<\/strong> and Josh Meyer<\/strong><\/p>\n

This courtesy review copy just arrived from Machette Book Group<\/a><\/strong>. The authors are investigative journalists, one of whom, Meyer, has extensive experience reporting on terrorism, while McDermott is also the author of the 9-11 highjackers book,\u00a0Perfect Soldiers<\/a><\/strong>. Thumbing through the pages, I note the authors have little time and much contempt for the cherished DoD-State<\/strong> canard that the Pakistani<\/strong> government and the ISI<\/strong> are an ally of the United States<\/strong>, which has already given me a warm feeling.<\/p>\n

The review copy index pages are blank, something I usually see only before a book has been finalized for mass printing. Odd.<\/p>\n

I will be reading and reviewing this soon – Shlok<\/a><\/strong> advises that “it reads like a novel”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
