Hey,

Just finished reading 'My Jihad by Aukai Collins'. Collins was a jihadi who fought in Croatia, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Chechnya, etc. and then did some work for the FBI and CIA.

Good tales of travel in very dangerous places and fascinating border crossings. Also good first-hand accounts of mujahideen combat, soviet weaponry, and life as a holy warrior. Plus, stories from UBL's training camps.

If you are into this stuff, this is a pretty good read and the book has some color photos too. Rare look at a little understood world.

Sounds interesting, is it only about his experience or does it include overall info on the events and organizations too?

Well it's mostly his story, but does delve into the 'bigger picture.' I think the main interest is that you just don't get too many first-hand accounts of this sort of thing. The guy even lost a leg in fighting and returned to the fronts with a prostetic!

It's a good read, but won't serve as a history book!
