Description: In late 2002, over 1500 audiotapes were discovered in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in a house once occupied by Osama bin Laden. The Audacious Ascetic is the first book to explore this extraordinary archive. It details how Islamic cultural, legal, theological and linguistic vocabularies shaped militants understandings of Al-Qaida, and, more controversially, challenges the notion that the groups original adversary was America and the far enemy. Miller argues that Western security agencies management of Bin Ladens growing reputation went awry. When magnified through global media coverage, narratives of al-Qaidas coordination were exploited by Osama and his militant supporters. Focusing on over a dozen previously unpublished speeches by Bin Laden as well as on discussions by top al-Qaida leaders and Arab-Afghans, Miller chronicles the Saudi radicals evolving relationship with a host of Muslim insurgencies that found his stripe of asceticism (zuhd) tactically useful, especially when circulated via audiotape. These recordings also reveal militants disenchantment when Bin Ladin, marginalised through the 90s, began pandering to Western television networks in his attempt to direct heterodox Islamist armed struggles against America. Such audio evidence exposes al-Qaidas diminishing coherence before 9-11 and invites scrutiny of dominant narratives of Western law enforcement, intelligence and terrorism analysts.
