Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. viii, 200 pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed on t-p. Marc Sageman, M.D., Ph.D., is a former CIA Operations Officer (covered as a Foreign Service officer) who was based in Islamabad from 1987 to 1989, where he worked closely with Afghanistan's mujahedin. He has advised various branches of the U.S. government in the War on Terror. He is also a forensic psychiatrist and a counter-terrorism consultant. He first drew wide attention for his book Understanding Terror Networks, a book that The Economist called "influential." "The most sophisticated analysis of global jihadis yet published. . . . His conclusions have demolished much of the conventional wisdom about who joins jihadi groups." In Leaderless Jihad: Terror Networks in the Twenty-First Century, Sageman "suggests that radicalization is a collective rather than an individual process in which friendship and kinship are key components."

Wilbur Addison Smith (born 9 January 1933) is a Zambian-born, novelist specializing in historical fiction about the international involvement in Southern Africa across four centuries, seen from the viewpoints of both black and white families. An accountant by training, he gained a film contract with his first published novel When the Lion Feeds. This encouraged him to become a full-time writer, and he developed three long chronicles of the South African experience which all became bestsellers. He still acknowledges his publisher Charles Pick's advice to "write about what you know best", and his work takes in much authentic detail of the local hunting and mining way of life, along with the romance and conflict that goes with it. As of 2014 his 35 published novels had sold more than 120 million copies. More

New York: Ballantine Books, 2011. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiv, 603, [5] pages. Authors' Note. Illustrations. Notes and Sources. Selected Bibliography. Index. The author are husband and wife. Anthony Bruce Summers (born 21 December 1942) is an Irish author. He is a Pulitzer Prize Finalist and has written ten best-selling non-fiction books. Summers, an Irish citizen, has for more than thirty years been working with Robbyn Swan, who became his co-author and fourth wife. Summers became the BBC's youngest Producer at 24, traveling worldwide and sending filmed reports from the United States, across Central and Latin America, and the conflicts in Vietnam, the Middle East, and Africa. A main focus was on the momentous events of the 1960s and 1970s in the United States – such as on-the-spot reports, during 1968, on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and on Robert F. Kennedy's bid for the presidency. He smuggled cameras into the then Soviet Union to obtain the only TV interview with dissident physicist Andrei Sakharov – when he was under house arrest, having just won the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize. Since the mid-1970s he has concentrated on investigative non-fiction, sometimes taking four to five years to complete a book – conducting in-depth research, combining digging in the documentary record with exhaustive interviewing. Swan was hired by Anthony Summers to conduct research for his book Official and Confidential: The Secret Life of J Edgar Hoover, a biography of the powerful long-time Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Swan also worked as a researcher for author John le Carré on his book, The Night Manager. More
