■he attacks of September
lamity on a scale few had imagined possible. In
their aftermath, we often exaggerated the men
who perpetrated them, shaping hasty and often mis¬
taken reporting into caricatures we could comprehend
—monsters and master criminals equal to the enormity
of their crimes. In reality, the
cohorts were unexceptional men, not much different from
countless others. It is this enemy, not the caricature, that
we must understand if we are to have a legitimate hope
of defeating terrorism.
The intent of this book is to uncover a better under¬
standing of who the hijackers were and, thereby, why they
did what they did. Perfect Soldiers traces these men s
lives and the evolution of their beliefs, putting a human
face on heinous acts. Most of the hijackers were from
apolitical and only mildly religious backgrounds. As they
came of age, though, they were shaped by historical tides
and their own circumstances, evolving into devout, pious
Muslims. In fundamentalist Islam, religion and politics
are inseparable; they saw themselves as pilgrims, sol¬
diers of God. In the end, this is a story about the power of
belief to remake ordinary men.
Matching unrivaled research, undertaken in twenty
countries on four continents, with a voice that is engag¬
ing, authoritative, and thought-provoking, Los Angeles
Times correspondent Terry McDermott provides detailed
portraits of the main players of the
far the most comprehensive study yet produced of Khaiid
Sheikh Mohammed, the plan s mysterious engineer. With
brilliant reporting and thoughtful analysis, McDermott
brings us a clearer, more nuanced, and in some ways
more frightening understanding of the landmark event of
our time.
