The One Percent Doctrine
In his devastating new book Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind takes readers inside the defining conflict of our era: the war between the West and a growing, shadowy army of terrorists, armed with weapons of alarming power. Relying on unique access to former and current government officials, this book will reveal for the first time how the US government -- from President Bush on down -- is frantically improvising to fight a new kind of war. Where is the enemy? What have been the real victories and defeats since 9/11? How are we actually fighting this war and how can it possibly be won? Filled with astonishing disclosures, Suskind's book shows readers what he calls "the invisible battlefield" -- a global matrix where US spies race to catch soldiers of jihad before they strike. It is a real-life spy thriller with the world's future at stake. It also reveals the shocking and secret philosophy underpinning the war on terror. Gripping and alarming in equal measure, it will reframe the debate about a war that, each day, redefines America and its place in the world.
Summary of Aimen Dean, Paul Cruickshank & Tim Lister's Nine Lives
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was the fourth of five sons born to my parents. My father was a businessman who imported construction machinery from Europe and sold it to the Saudi-American oil giant Aramco, a little way up the coast. My parents were conservative Sunni Arabs in a very conservative Kingdom, where women went covered on the rare occasions they left home. #2 I had a very conservative Muslim identity as a child, but I was also aware of the struggles in Afghanistan against the Russians, and the call to jihad that had lured thousands of Arabs to the foothills of the Himalayas. #3 I was a huge fan of the mosque, and the books and articles I would read there would later become the foundation of my career as a journalist. In 1990, just a month before my twelfth birthday, Saddam Hussein’s army invaded Kuwait. The American presence offered me reassurance that Saddam would be stopped. #4 I lost my mother when I was young, and I was drawn to the radical teachings of Sayyid Qutb, the founding father of modern jihad. I finished his book In the Shade of the Koran in two years, and it made a deep impression on me.
Nine Lives
As one of al-Qaeda’s most respected bomb-makers, Aimen Dean rubbed shoulders with the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden. As a double agent at the heart of al-Qaeda’s chemical weapons programme, he foiled attacks on civilians and saved countless lives, brushing with death so often that his handlers began to call him their spy with nine lives. This is the story of how a young Muslim, determined to defend his faith, found himself fighting on the wrong side – and his fateful decision to work undercover for his sworn enemy. From the killing fields of Bosnia to the training camps of Afghanistan, from running money and equipment in Britain to dodging barrel bombs in Syria, we discover what life is like inside the global jihad, and what it will take to stop it once and for all.
TACTICAL COUNTERTERRORISM
Police officers on the beat, officers on patrol, all cops - local, state, tribal and federal, 750,000 strong - doing what they do every day are the first and most effective line of defense against terrorist acts committed in the Homeland. This manual is designed to overcome the failure of our national counter-terrorist strategy to better utilize local cops in homeland security by providing essential and practical knowledge local officers can use to identify terrorist precursor activities and more effectively interdict and prevent terrorist attacks from occurring. The goal is to acquaint officers with proactive “first preventer” knowledge and tactics so they can make police counterterrori...
