520    This work is a narrative account of the mysterious 
       Jordanian who penetrated both the inner circle of al-Qaeda
       and the highest reaches of the CIA, with a devastating 
       impact on the war on terror. In December 2009, a group of 
       the CIA's top terrorist hunters gathered at a secret base 
       in Khost, Afghanistan, to greet a rising superspy: Humam 
       Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian double agent who infiltrated
       the upper ranks of al-Qaeda. For months, he had sent 
       shocking revelations from inside the terrorist network and
       now promised to help the CIA assassinate Osama bin Laden's
       top deputy. Instead, as he stepped from his car, he 
       detonated a thirty-pound bomb strapped to his chest, 
       instantly killing seven CIA operatives, the agency's worst
       loss of life in decades. In this book the author, a 
       reporter, takes us deep inside the CIA's secret war 
       against al-Qaeda, a war that pits robotic planes and laser
       guided missiles against a cunning enemy intent on 
       unleashing carnage in American cities. Flitting 
       precariously between the two sides was Balawi, a young man
       with extraordinary gifts who managed to win the confidence
       of hardened terrorists as well as veteran spymasters. With
       his breathtaking accounts from inside al-Qaeda's lair, 
       Balawi appeared poised to become America's greatest double
       agent in half a century, but he was not at all what he 
       seemed. Combining the powerful momentum of Black Hawk Down
       with the institutional insight of Jane Mayer's The Dark 
       Side, the author takes the readers on a harrowing journey 
       from the slums of Amman to the inner chambers of the White
       House in an untold true story of miscalculation, deception,
       and revenge.
