Most Americans think of the Taliban and al Qaeda as a bunch of bearded fanatics fighting an Islamic crusade from caves in Afghanistan. But that doesn't explain their astonishing comeback along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Why is it that eight years after we invaded Afghanistan, the CIA says that these groups are better armed and better funded than ever? Seeds of Terror will reshape the way you think about America's enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals.

Interesting topic, but an overabundance of detail

I have to agree with other reviewers that this book is basically a just a collection of anecdotal facts. Prior to this I listened to Krakauer's "Where Men Win Glory" which provides a good primer on the intricacies of the Afghanistan conflict as a backdrop to the main story. I thought this book would help complete the picture. Turns out "Where Men Win Glory" gave me a better understanding of the Afghanistan conflict, and was easier to understand, than this book.
