Through Our Enemies' Eyes
Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America
Book • 2002
Through Our Enemies' Eyes challenges myths and stereotypes about terrorism, al-Qaeda, and Osama bin Laden.
The book, originally written as an unclassified manual for counterterrorism officers, is based on open-source intelligence and media reports.
Scheuer argues that dismissing bin Laden as a lunatic is a form of myopia that limits the West's ability to respond effectively.
He explores how bin Laden's philosophy harnesses religion and nationalism, and how U.S.
foreign policy in the Islamic world has fueled the conflict.
