Imperial Hubris 帝國的傲慢

From Osama bin Laden’s reading list.

Apparently the guy’s been reading a lot while hiding. A lot of his reads are on culture and political history. This book was written by the former CIA head of the bin Laden unit

只能說作者認識的賓拉登跟主流媒體描繪非常不同. 記得以前問過一些阿拉伯朋友對他的看法,大致的回答是”他是美國自己的產物”

有趣的是,書中講到西方國家策略上應如何因應時,多次引用孫子兵法。然後不斷告誡決策者要把歷史讀好,並熟悉別人的文化,知己知彼。
