The War against the Terror Masters is a riveting guide to the terrorist crisis. Michael A. Ledeen explains in startling detail why the United States was so unprepared for the September 11 catastrophe; the nature of the terror network we are fighting--including its state sponsors; the role of radical Islam; the enemy collaboration of some of our traditional Middle Eastern "allies"; and, most convincingly, what America must do to win the war.
An examination of the rise of the international terror networks, and the past and current efforts of our intelligence services to destroy the terror masters in the U.S. and overseas, Ledeen's book also visits countries in the Near East and describes the terrorist cancer cells in each. Revelations include: how the terror network survived the loss of its main sponsor, the Soviet Union; how the FBI learned from a KGB defector--twenty years before Osama bin Laden's murderous assault on September 11--of the existence of Arab terrorist sleeper networks inside the United States; and much more.
Michael Ledeen, having worked in the State Department, the Pentagon, and the National Security Council on international terrorism, is uniquely qualified to tell this story.

In this provocative new book, Arthur C. Brooks explodes the myths about happiness in America. He examines vast amounts of evidence and empirical research to uncover the truth about who is happy in America, who is not, and why.
