It's no secret that federal agencies are waging a broad global war against terror. But, for the first time, in this memoir, an active Muslim American federal agent reveals his experience infiltrating and bringing down a terror cell in North America. Due to his ongoing work for the FBI, Elnoury writes under a pseudonym. An Arabic-speaking Muslim American, a patriot, a hero: To many Americans, it will be a revelation that he and his team even exist, let alone the vital and dangerous work they do keeping all Americans safe.

Armored cars, burner phones, top-notch weaponry, and top-secret missions - this is the life of today's private military contractor. Like author Simon Chase, many PMCs were once the world's top military operatives, and since retiring from outfits like US Navy SEAL TEAM Six and the UK's Special Boat Service, they have devoted their lives to executing missions too sensitive for the government to acknowledge. Chase reveals here for the first time the operations too hazardous and politically volatile to be officially sanctioned by his employers.

On August 21, 2015, Ayoub El-Khazzani boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. There could be no doubt about his mission: He had an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter, and enough ammunition to obliterate every passenger on board. Slipping into the bathroom in secret, he armed his weapons. Another major ISIS attack was about to begin. Khazzani wasn't expecting Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone.

One morning in October 2013, 19-year-old Ayan Juma and her 16-year-old sister, Leila, left their family home in Oslo. Later that day they sent an email to their parents. 'Peace, God's mercy and blessings upon you, Mum and Dad... Please do not be cross with us....' Leila and Ayan had decided to travel to Syria 'and help out down there as best we can'. They had been planning for months. By the time their desperate father, Sadiq, tracks them to Turkey, they have already crossed the border.

On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. a satellite uplink was sent from Pakistan crackling into the situation room of the White House: "Geronimo, Echo, KIA." These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, ended Osama bin Laden's reign of terror. SEAL Target Geronimo is the story of Neptune's Spear from the men who were there. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details in an exclusive account of what happened as he takes listeners inside the walls of Bin Laden's compound.

In Anatomy of Terror, former FBI special agent and New York Times best-selling author Ali Soufan dissects bin Laden's brand of jihadi terrorism and its major offshoots, revealing how these organizations were formed, how they operate, their strengths, and - crucially - their weaknesses.

How did the Islamic State attract so many followers and conquer so much land? By being more ruthless, more apocalyptic, and more devoted to state building than its competitors. The shrewd leaders of the Islamic State combined two of the most powerful yet contradictory ideas in Islam - the return of the Islamic Empire and the end of the world - into a mission and a message that shapes its strategy and inspires its army of zealous fighters.

The long and secret effort to track down Osama bin Laden has been called the biggest, costliest manhunt in history. This reconstruction, compiled from reporting from more than two-dozen Washington Post correspondents and staffers over more than 15 years, traces the hunt from its beginnings in 1997, during the Clinton administration.

The massacre of the Yazidi people by ISIS was nothing less than genocide. In refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, the authors brought a skilled team to interview more than a hundred ISIS survivors and document what they experienced and saw. These former slaves observed their torturers and knew from the inside the secret facilities that ISIS has kept hidden from the world. What their testimony reveals is an organization whose ambition is power, regardless of their claim to be "soldiers of God."

A former FBI Special Agent, US Army officer, and leading cyber-security expert offers a devastating and essential look at the misinformation campaigns that have become the cutting edge of modern warfare - and how we can protect ourselves against them. Clint Watts electrified the nation when he testified regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. In Messing with the Enemy, the counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and homeland security expert introduces us to a frightening world in which terrorists and cyber criminals don’t hack your computer, they hack your mind.

After 9/11, the Ayn Rand Institute predicted that the prevailing ideas about morality would undercut our foreign policy and cripple us in action. In the op-eds, essays, blog posts, and interviews featured in this audiobook, you will hear that those predictions have proved correct. Can we end the Islamist menace and secure our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness on earth? Yes - easily - if we adopt the right philosophic ideas to guide our foreign policy.

One night in April 2014, members of the terrorist organization Boko Haram raided the small town of Chibok in northeast Nigeria and abducted 276 young girls from the local boarding school. The event caused massive, international outrage. Using the hashtag "Bring Back Our Girls", politicians, activists, and celebrities from all around the world - among them First Lady Michelle Obama and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai - protested.

On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, Michael Benfante went to work, just like he had day after day, at his office on 81st floor in the World Trade Center North Tower. Moments after the first plane struck, just 12 floors above him, Benfante organized his terrified employees, getting them out of the office and moving down the stairwells. On his way down, he and another co-worker encountered a woman in a wheelchair on the 68th floor.

Boarding an airplane strikes at least a small sense of fear into most people. Even though we all have heard that the odds of being struck by lightning are greater than the odds of perishing in a plane crash, it still doesn't feel that way. Airplane crashes might be rare, but they do happen, and they’re usually fatal. David Soucie insists that most of these deaths could be prevented. He’s worked as a pilot, a mechanic, an FAA inspector, and an aviation executive. He’s seen death up close and personal - deaths of colleagues and friends that might have been prevented if he had approved certain safety measures in the aircrafts they were handling.

En unik inblick i återtagandet av Mosul från terrorsekten IS en osminkad och detaljrik berättelse om hur ett specialförband opererar i strid, våldsam död, kamratskap i främsta linjen och krigets oskyldiga offer. Svenske elitsoldaten Axel Stål är tillbaka i stridens hetta. Som nybefordrad överstelötjnant i kurdiska säkerhetstjänsten blir hans uppgift att hjälpa till med återtagandet av Mosul från terrorsekten Islamiska Staten. Men trots hans långa karriär som operatör runt om i världens värsta oroshärdar visar sig uppdraget bli långt blodigare och svårare än vad Axel någonsin tidigare varit med om.

Parigi, 25 luglio 1995: esplode una bomba nella stazione RER di Saint Michel, causando 8 morti e 117 feriti. Parigi, 7 gennaio 2015: i fratelli Said e Chérif Kouachi assaltano la redazione di Charlie Hebdo e compiono una strage. Vent'anni di differenza tra i due fatti di sangue. Stessa la matrice, quella del jihadismo, il terrorismo islamico. Simili le storie: giovani perduti, finiti nel gorgo della delinquenza e alla fine corrotti dai "cattivi maestri" del terrore.

Il 27 luglio 1996 una guardia di sicurezza di nome Richard Jewell individuò uno zaino sospetto nel Centennial Olympic Park di Atlanta, teatro in quei giorni dei Giochi olimpici. All'interno c'era una bomba. La deflagrazione provocò due morti e un centinaio di feriti, ma senza l'intervento di Jewell il bilancio sarebbe stato certamente più grave. Con gli occhi del mondo puntati addosso, la città non si fermò e i giochi continuarono. La stampa e le autorità non esitarono a fare di Jewell un eroe. Tuttavia, la pressione per trovare l'attentatore era altissima.

Este libro, en el que Eric Frattini ha trabajado desde 1995 y para el que ha consultado más de 270 documentos de Agencias Federales de EE.UU, analiza documentos del FBI que, tras los atentados del 11 de septiembre, fueron de nuevo clasificados como secretos y es el único libro que analiza la gestación y ejecución de los ataques, con una información actualizada hasta el día 30 de octubre.

El gobierno de Franco y el Vaticano ayudaron a escapar de Europa y de ser juzgados en Núremberg a importantes nazis acusados de genocidio y de crímenes contra la humanidad. Adolf Eichmann, el «arquitecto» del Holocausto, Josef Mengele, el «Ángel de la muerte» de Auschwitz, Franz Stangl, el verdugo de Treblinka, Klaus Barbie, el carnicero de Lyon, John Ivan Demjanjuk, Erich Priebke, Gustav Wagner, Hermine Braunsteiner, Otto Wächter, Walter Rauff, Herberts Cukurs y Erich Rajakowitsch son las «ratas» que escaparon de Europa dejando tras de sí una gran marca de sangre y horror.

El 19 de febrero de 1992, Iñaki Rekarte empezó a caminar deprisa en dirección contraria al coche bomba que había aparcado minutos antes en el barrio de La Albericia de Santander. Segundos más tarde vio pasar a su objetivo, una furgoneta de la policía, buscó en el bolsillo el mando a distancia, levantó el brazo y apretó el botón con todas sus fuerzas. La explosión absorbió durante unos instantes todo el oxígeno de la calle; luego lo soltó de golpe.

Afganistán, 1990. El régimen pro soviético de Najibulá parece dar sus últimos estertores tras más de una década de guerra contra los muyahidines. El país, sin saberlo, está abocado a un conflicto fratricida que acabará desembocando en uno de los regímenes más brutales de la historia moderna: el de los talibanes. En ese escenario caótico un joven italiano, de nombre Alberto Cairo, aterriza en el aeropuerto internacional de Kabul. Es fisioterapeuta y viene a trabajar para la Cruz Roja. Está previsto que se quede un año.

Hace ahora veinticinco años se publicaba La Casa, el primer libro que se atrevía en España a desvelar los misterios del entonces Cesid, ahora CNI. Fue tal el impacto que produjo, que durante tres meses fue el libro de no ficción más vendido en toda España. Hasta en el Congreso dos diputados -Álvarez Cascos, del PP, y Mur, del PAR- criticaron al entonces gobierno socialista por no contar lo que ya sabían gracias a La Casa.

En diciembre de 1972, varios encapuchados secuestraron a Jean McConville, una viuda de 38 años con 10 hijos a su cargo. En aquel barrio católico de Belfast todos intuían que se trataba de una represalia del IRA, pero nadie se atrevía a decirlo por el terror y paranoia imperantes en la época más caliente del conflicto. El crimen no empezó a resolverse hasta 2003, cinco años después de los acuerdos de paz del Viernes Santo, al ser desenterrados los restos mortales de McConville en una playa solitaria.

Un extraordinario reportaje, ganador de numerosos premios internacionales, sobre el genocidio ruandés. El 6 de abril de 1994, el avión del presidente de Ruanda fue abatido por un misil. Al día siguiente el gobierno animaba a la mayoría hutu a asesinar a sus vecinos tutsis junto con aquellos hutus que intentasen protegerlos. De este modo daba comienzo el mayor genocidio de las últimas décadas.

In Polish: Applebaum presents the story of an inconceivable crime: “she describes the works of Stalin, which are only superseded by the Holocaust, but their cruelty and perfidy match the actions of Hitler” - Wacław Radziwinowicz (Polish journalist). This book describes Holodomor - the Great Famine in Ukraine between 1931 and 1933 which killed three million people and was man-made by the Soviet government.

Kein Tag hat sich stärker ins kollektive Gedächtnis gebrannt. Die Bilder, die Geschichten, die Konsequenzen. Doch die Worte derer, die den 11. September tatsächlich erlebt haben, fehlten fast zwanzig Jahre lang. Garrett M. Graff hat diese Worte gefunden, er hat alle Dokumente, alle Interviews zusammengetragen, hat die Stimmen der Einsatzkräfte, der Zeugen, der Überlebenden versammelt und daraus eine überwältigende Erzählung kompiliert - vielstimmig, erfahrungsecht, im O-Ton.

Am 13. November 2015 sah Antoine Leiris seine Frau Hélène zum letzten Mal - sie wurde an diesem Tag mit neunzig weiteren Personen im Konzertsaal Le Bataclan Opfer der Terroranschläge in Paris. Während die Welt geschockt und in tiefer Trauer versuchte, eine Erklärung für das Unfassbare zu finden, postete der vierunddreißigjährige Journalist auf Facebook einen offenen Brief.

Was den "Islamischen Staat" so gefährlich macht. Nach seinem brutalen Eroberungszug im Jahr 2014 herrscht der "Islamische Staat" heute über mehr als fünf Millionen Menschen und eine Fläche von der Größe Großbritanniens. SPIEGEL-Korrespondent Christoph Reuter zeichnet den präzise geplanten Aufstieg der Dschihadisten nach und stößt zu den Wurzeln des Terrors vor - im zerfallenden Irak, im syrischen Bürgerkrieg und in den vielfältigen Konflikten der Region, die die Strategen des Terrors geschickt für ihre Zwecke zu nutzen wissen.

Gli attacchi terroristici che negli ultimi anni hanno portato la paura in Occidente (e non solo) ci obbligano a convivere con una violenza spesso difficile da comprendere. Le televisioni e i giornali ci inondano di immagini traumatiche, la morte è diventata una notizia quotidiana, distribuita alla cieca tra gente comune: allo stadio, nei teatri, al bar, in aeroporto. Un'intera generazione sta crescendo con il timore di non essere al sicuro, e con molte domande che non trovano risposta. Come aiutare i nostri figli a liberarsi dalla paura?
