"Certainly the finest historical narrative so far on the origins of al Qaeda in the post-Soviet rubble of Afghanistan . . . Ghost Wars provides fresh details and helps explain the motivations behind many crucial decisions." -- The New York Times Book Review "The CIA itself would be hard put to beat his grasp of global events . . . Deeply satisfying." -- The New York Review of Books "A well written, authoritative, high-altitude drama with few heroes, many villains, bags of cash, and a tragic ending--one that may not have been inevitable." -- The Washington Post, Certainly the finest historical narrative so far on the origins of al Qaeda in the post-Soviet rubble of Afghanistan . . . Ghost Warsprovides fresh details and helps explain the motivations behind many crucial decisions.” —The New York Times Book Review, With this book, Coll establishes a reputation as large as that of his Postcolleague Bob Woodward.

    Good seller, fast dispatch and delivery time from the U.S to the UK. Packaged was okay but I'd of payed a bit more to have a card backed envelope... as the photo got some creases in it. These were visible on the envelope too so were done in shipping. But its not the end of the world but just something to think about for the seller. More than happy to own this piece of history though.

    The book was as described by the seller, and I feel the value was completely worth it! I'd like the seller to know my book arrived safely due to its proper shipping and careful packaging, as this product is pretty old. Thank you! :)
