Funding Evil…
Funding Evil (How Terrorism is financed and how to stop it…)
Ratchel Enrenfeld
(Bonus)
I can quite understand the claim on the front of this book that this is The Book the Saudi’s don’t want you to read. Its pretty explosive stuff detailing how terrorists get their money to carry out attacks. Needless to say the Saudis do not come off to well as they are a great source of funds for Islamic terrorists world-wide. The books also demonstrates that goverments world-wide have been slow to deal with the problem of terrorist financing whether it be through drug & arms smuggling or misdirection of funds through curruption and fake charities. Not one country on earth is immune to criticism on this matter. It makes for pretty sorry tale. What makes this even more poingnant is the fact I started the book a little over 24 hours before the London bombings last week. This book does not make for very pleasant reading and shows just what a task it is going to be to stop terrorists getting their hands on the funds needed to perpetuate their evil. Well written with excellent notes and appendices.
Rating: 5/5
