First time I've bothered to post a recommendation, but just finished reading The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda's Road to 9/11 which won the Pulitzer prize last year
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Looming-Towe.../dp/071399973X
and wanted to recommend it to anyone that's interested in reading about how Al Queda came to be, and the thinking behind these nutters, or the inadequacies of the intelligence services prior to it happening.
Absolutely enthralling, enlightening book, told in a straightforward non-impartial way, it just relays the facts as we know them in a highly readable way. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Brilliant.
