review 1: It is rare that I rate a book higher than the general population. I will tell you, having been in Aghanistan, having trained Afghans as a Marine and worked within the intelligence cycle, this is a fantastic book. The general population is missing the boat on this one. This was an exceptional book, recommended to me by a former intel operative. The concept of the evolution of deterrance fascinated me, as did the speed with which intelligence could be transferred up and down the chain (shown relatively well in the Act of Valor movie, actually. Ignore the acting and watch the tactics- they're gorgeous). These are the people you want defending your freedom, trust me. I saw them work and you can read about them in this book. Any complete picture of our current geopoliti... morecal world and the way we interract needs this book.-Owen Gardner Finnegan
review 2: A very dry book that is mainly focused on how the gov't is adopting cold war deterrence strategies for its antiterrorism efforts, using foreign PR campaigns to counter the message of extremist groups & terrorist recruiters, trying to maintain relations with Pakistan, dealing with "lone gunman" type terrorist and terrorist cells, etc. One is left with more of a feeling of hopelessness than hopefulness for the future. less
