Holy War,
Inc: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden
Peter Bergen
An excellent book by the CNN correspondent who spent years tracking
down bin Laden and interviewing him. This is a racey account
of the man and the movement that has forced America to go into
combat on the ground properly for the first time since Vietnem.

Jihad:
The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia
Ahmed Rashid
This great book is about the rise of militant islam in Central
Asia....far away countries about which we know very little,
and seem to care even less. It focuses on how the failure of
these erstwhile communist countries to reform has consolidated
an opposition around the flag of militant islam and it reads
like fiction.

Bin Laden,
Islam and America's New "War on Terrorism"
As'ad AbuKhalil
Extremely well written book for those with little knowledge
of the Middle East or Islam. Gives good background information
on the subject and is a real eye opener on dubious US policy
and American propaganda.

Chemical
and Biological Warfare
Eric Croddy
Incredibly comprehensive book that explains all the basic concepts
and has some interesting images; from a Mickey Mouse gas mask
for children designed by Walt Disney himself to nitrogen mustard
cells, stockpiled by Germany during the second world war. It
gives a history of chemical and biological warfare around the
world.
