What is the opinion on Small Wars Council of books written by Israeli intel and foreign/military affairs Yossef Bodansky?

I've read the High Cost of Peace and Osama Bin Laden: The Man who declared war on America, and even though he made unverified claims in his books from what I've read on him he is well regarded as a scholar and analyst and I've also read many positive opinions about him from individuals inside the military/foreign affairs establishment.

Btw I'm wanting to read Chechen Jihad by him and the Secret History of the Iraq War. Also if anyone has read these two books how are they?
