Abu Hamza: Guilty: The Fight Against Radical Islam - Softcover

Few people in the United States may have heard of Abu Hamza before his trial began in New York in June 2014. He will be sentenced to life in prison in the autumn of 2014 for offenses that led to the kidnapping and murder of American citizens, the support of Al Qaeda’s international terrorist mission, and creating instability in the West that will continue for a generation. He inspired young men to take up arms against their own countries of birth in the name of Islamic jihad; he encouraged ordinary men and women to cause harm and terror. This is an original story of how a simple man became an international menace, told by two journalists who tried to warn the world before it was too late.
