Why al Qaeda is winning its war against the West--and America has been playing right into its hands

In the decade since 9/11, the United States has grown weaker: It has been bogged down by costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has spent billions of dollars on security to protect air travel and other transport, as well as the homeland more generally. Much of this money has been channeled into efforts that are inefficient by design and highly bureaucratic, a lack of coordination between and among the government and an array of contractors making it difficult to evaluate the return on the enormous investment that we have made in national security. Meanwhile, public morale has been sapped by measures ranging from color-coded terror alerts to full-body hand searches.

Now counterterrorism expert Daveed Gartenstein-Ross details the strategic missteps the U.S. has made in the fight against al Qaeda, a group that U.S. planners never really took the time to understand. For this reason, America's responses to the terrorist threat have often unwittingly helped al Qaeda achieve its goals. Gartenstein-Ross's book explains what the country must do now to stem the bleeding.

  • Explains in detail al Qaeda's strategy to sap and undermine the American economy, and shows how the United States played into the terrorist group's hands by expanding the battlefield and setting up an expensive homeland security bureaucracy that has difficulty dealing with a nimble, adaptive foe
  • Outlines how al Qaeda's economic plans have evolved toward an ultimate ""strategy of a thousand cuts,"" which involves smaller yet more frequent attacks against Western societies
  • Shows how the domestic politicization of terrorism has weakened the United States, skewing its priorities and causing it to misallocate counterterrorism resources
  • Offers a practical plan for building domestic resiliency against terrorist attacks, and escaping the mistakes that have undermined America's war against its jihadist foes

Clearly written and powerfully argued by a prominent counterterrorism expert, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what al Qaeda is really after and how the United States can thwart its goals--or help unwittingly to achieve them.

Nice shirt but size up one to two sizes.
Size: Large, Color: Clay
I love this shirt. it is good quality. I got the clay colored one. I really like it. They do run small. I normally wear a medium. So I got a large. It fits pretty well. It is a tad bit tight, but I am losing weight(145LBS) So far. So it should fit fine in a few weeks. I am 5,2 135Lbs. I probably should have gotten the XL.

Slim fit for the winner
Size: Medium, Color: Clay Floral Print
Beautiful orange shirt and I love the metal buttons. Very comfortable and I like the slim fit. It appears more tailored. I'm a tall guy at 6'4" and the length for a medium was perfect.
