Books
The Algerian Islamist Abdullah Anas, 'perhaps the greatest warrior of the Afghan Arabs' fought the Soviet Union for a decade. As one of the earliest Arabs to join the Afghan jihad, he counted as brothers-in-arms the future icons of al-Qaeda's global war: from Abdullah Azzam to Osama bin Laden to Omar Abdel-Rahman, and befriended key Afghan jihadi figures such as Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Ahmed Shah Massoud, the Lion of Panshir. 'To the Mountains' is an intimate portrait of this brutal war, tracing Anas' involvement in the conflict, as well as his experiences of the Algerian civil war (1992-8) and his sojourn in 'Londonistan'.
