AlbakiReads Editorial

An investigative account of Ali Mohamed’s alleged infiltration of U.S. institutions

Peter Lance examines the career of Ali Mohamed, a former Egyptian army commando described here as an al Qaeda operative who maintained a double life in the United States before 2001. The book traces his reported path through U.S. citizenship, marriage, and access to the CIA in Europe, the Green Berets at Fort Bragg, and the FBI in California. Framed as investigative nonfiction, it connects Mohamed’s activities to broader questions about intelligence failures, institutional vulnerabilities, and the terrorist campaign culminating in the September 11 attacks. Its subject is espionage at the intersection of counterterrorism, law enforcement, and national security.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in true-crime investigations of espionage
  • Those seeking books about al Qaeda and pre-9/11 intelligence failures
  • Readers interested in FBI, CIA, and military-security institutions
