    Agent Storm : my life inside al-Qaeda
    • Morten Storm was an unlikely Jihadist. A 6'1" red-haired Dane, he spent his teens with a biker gang or in jail. After converting to Islam, he transformed from a militant madrassa in Yemen to a close friendship with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born cleric and a significant threat to the West. Storm's journey took another dramatic turn when he lost his faith and was recruited by the CIA, MI6, and MI5, becoming a double agent with the mission to take down al-Awlaki. This memoir recounts his quest for purpose within a community of believers before rejecting their extremist ideology. For five years, he lived undercover, completing high-profile missions and thwarting multiple terrorist attacks while leading intelligence services to dangerous al-Qaeda operatives, all while knowing his life was at risk. The narrative provides an unprecedented look into the Jihadist world, from dodging drones with al-Qaeda leaders to Jihadist gyms in Birmingham. It also reveals insights into powerful spy agencies, their tradecraft, and the use of a beautiful blonde in a honey trap. Filled with close calls, coded messages, and chilling duplicity, this captivating real-life thriller offers a unique perspective on a complex and dangerous world.

      Der junge Däne Morten Storm ist Kleinkrimineller, Mitglied einer Motorrad-Gang und rutscht immer weiter in die Illegalität ab, bis er schließlich neuen Halt in den Schriften des Propheten Mohammed findet. Nach einem Gefängnisaufenthalt konvertiert er zum Islam und identifiziert sich zunehmend mit den radikalen Forderungen und Zielen extremistischer Islamisten. Ein längerer Aufenthalt im Jemen bringt ihn schließlich mit dem Hassprediger Anwar al-Awlaki zusammen. Doch noch während Storm mit diesem in direktem Kontakt steht, zweifelt er zunehmend an seinen Überzeugungen und arbeitet bald gleichzeitig für nicht weniger als drei westliche Geheimorganisationen. Von nun an führt Storm ein fast schizophrenes Leben: Er konzipiert und plant Anschläge mit führenden Köpfen der al-Qaida und lässt sich kurz darauf in luxuriöse Unterkünfte einfliegen, um seine Informationen mit westlichen Agenten zu teilen und die Nächte durchzufeiern. Seine Mission bleibt dabei jedoch ernst: einen der meistgesuchten Verbrecher Amerikas aufzuspüren und zu vernichten. Agent Storm ist ein leidenschaftliches und faszinierendes Buch voller Geschichten über codierte Nachrichten, verdeckte Treffen und die zweifelhaften Motive eines Doppelagenten – und gibt einen einzigartigen Einblick in das mächtigste und am meisten gefürchtete Terror-Netzwerk der Welt.

      All of your projects and programs make up your portfolio . But how much time do you actually spend on your projects, and how much time do you spend responding to emergencies? This book will introduce you to different ways of ordering all of the projects you are working on now, and help you figure out how to staff those projects-even when you've run out of project teams to do the work. Once you learn to manage your portfolio better, you'll avoid emergency "firedrills". The trick is adopting lean and agile approaches to projects, whether they are software projects, projects that include hardware, or projects that depend on chunks of functionality from other suppliers. You may be accustomed to spending time in meetings where you still don't have the data you need to evaluate your projects. Here, with a few measures, you'll be able to quickly evaluate each project and come to a decision quickly. You'll learn how to define your team's, group's, or department's mission with none of the buzzwords that normally accompany a mission statement. Armed with the work and the mission, you can make those decisions that define the true leaders in the organization.
