The ultimate insider's account of the battle against terrorism, The Black Banners describes for the first time Ali Soufan's nerve-wracking, history-making decade as the FBI's lead investigator into al-Qaeda, thwarting plots around the world and winning vital confessions from terrorists - without laying so much as a hand on them.

From the interrogation rooms where Soufan would share food and films with the suspects so he could bond with them, to the hideouts of bin Laden - and why the CIA have insisted on redacting parts of this book - Ali Soufan's gripping book reveals with intimate, first-hand knowledge, the shocking truth about the global 'War on Terror'.

'Paints a devastating picture of the rivalry between the FBI and the CIA's counterterrorism units . . . Soufan's story provides a new and important window on America's battle with al-Qaeda.' Washington Post

'A chilling tale, told with skill and verve.' Economist
