This clever, often humorous but deeply disturbing book focuses not on how terror cells operate or how they get their funding, but on the individuals behind the masks and suicide bomber vests. It tells stories, often horrifying, about the events that have shaped, and are shaping, today’s Middle East, as told by the perpetrators, in their own words.

Aaron Klein conducts interviews with the leaders and members of terror organizations, including every major Palestinian Arab terror group, al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Aqsa Martyrs, Popular Resistance Committees, Arab liberation front, PFLP, Iraq insurgents, Taliban officials and even groups suspected of operating in the U.S.

You will not find a better book about terrorism anywhere in the world. He even asks the terror leaders what they think about Hollywood celebrities who speak out against President Bush and the War on Terror.

Schmoozing With Terrorists is one the most fascinating books I have ever read.

Don’t think the terror threat is real? Read the book.
