Johnsen, Gregory D.2013
Books
Far from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, in an unforgiving corner of Arabia, the US and al-Qaeda are fighting a clandestine war of drones and suicide bombers. In 'The Last Refuge', al-Qaeda scholar Gregory D. Johnsen charts the rise, the fall and the ultimate resurrection of al-Qaeda in Yemen - given new life through a combustion of civil wars, Afghan refugees, and Muhammad's prophetic teachings.
