In his explosive New York Times bestseller, top CIA
operative Robert Baer paints a chilling picture of how
terrorism works on the inside and provides startling
evidence of how Washington politics sabotaged the CIA’s
efforts to root out the world’s deadliest terrorists,
allowing for the rise of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda and
the continued entrenchment of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. A veteran case officer in the CIA’s Directorate of
Operations in the Middle East, Baer witnessed the rise of
terrorism first hand and the CIA’s inadequate response to
it, leading to the attacks of September 11, 2001. This
riveting book is both an indictment of an agency that lost
its way and an unprecedented look at the roots of modern
terrorism, and includes a new afterword in which Baer
speaks out about the American war on terrorism and its
profound implications throughout the Middle East.
