Is this "War in the Shadows" that was published in 1975? I've brought the 2 volume set used on Amazon but haven't read it yet. I'm presently reading "War of the Flea" another great book.

He was amazing. I liked these tidbits: "We've captured/killed 300 a-Q members in 102 countries since 9/11" and "Foiling one plot a day". This election is so very important....

No, It's called "Shadow War: How the Bush administration is winning the war on terror.

It's filled with War on Terror stories from around the globe and it sounds very very intrguing. I don't buy many books, only two political in my life (First Hannity book and first Savage book), but I definently plan on checking this one out.

A few things from it that I can remember from his interview with Hedgecock.. Some intelligence agencies believe bin Laden is in Iran.. There was an assasination plot against Bush last October that was foiled.. stories from Tora Bora and many other things.

In response to Kerry/Edwards assertion that we shouldn't have outsourced the US Military to Afghan warlords in Tora Bora, and that we should have had tens of thousands of troops there, the writer said (I forget his name) that the Kerry strategy was the same strategy the Soviet Union used in the 80s in Tora Bora and they were slaughtered.


It sounds like a great book.

Thanks I looked it up on Amazon it sounds like a good read. I'm in the middle of Tommy Franks new book "American Soldier" right now and it's a real eye opener too.
