Hardback. Condición: Good. The enthralling Cold War tale of a Nazi spymaster, a CIA-run radio station, and the mosque that became radical Islam s first home in the West> An impeccably researched and eye-opening work of social and political history. Wall Street Journal In the wake of the news that the 9/11 hijackers had lived in Europe, journalist Ian Johnson wondered how such a radical group could sink roots into Western soil. Most accounts reached back twenty years, to U.S. support of Islamist fighters in Afghanistan. But Johnson dug deeper, uncovering the story of a mosque in Germany. Its history stretched to World War I and, with CIA support, the mosque later became a haven for radical Islamists who spread their influence across the continent.

It is not just Johnson s investigative reporting that makes this book important. He also has a gift for historical narrative . . . He structures his cloak-and-dagger tale around a series of absurdly colorful characters.

He is also the author of>Wild Grass: Three Portraits of Change in Modern China.…
