Why you should read America's Secret War
Al Qaeda's September 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. initiated a unique war. This dispersed, ideological, religious, fanatical, stateless enemy required the U.S. and its allies to rethink their military and political strategies so they could wage a war in some of the world's most remote locations. The situation rendered previous military-political models useless. The war against Al Qaeda required an entirely new, global offensive strategy. Author George Friedman asserts difficult-to-uncover - and difficult-to-prove or disprove - information about the international intelligence and military infighting that shaped the Iraq war's initial stages. His detailed presentation shows his command of this complex global geo-political and military story. He presents a saga much more complex and intertwined than most media reports on Iraq, which is, of course, the advantage of a book. getAbstract.com considers this essential reading for anyone interested in the Middle East and the war against Al Qaeda, including journalists, and those interested in current events, intelligence and military-political history.
