A report on the rise of the international terror networks, and the efforts of our intelligence services to destroy terrorism in United States and overseas, The War Against the Terror Masters, newly updated for this edition, explains why the U.S. was so unprepared for the 9/11 catastrophe.
The book also explores the nature of the terror networks the U.S. is fighting (including their state sponsors); the role of radical Islam in terrorism; the enemy collaboration of some of our traditional Middle Eastern "allies"; and, most convincingly, what America must do to win the war on terror. In the process, this study examines countries throughout the Near East and describes the terrorist cancer cells in each. Ledeen reveals 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.

"Transcend[s] mere descriptive narrative and seek[s] to fix a value—political, philosophical or strategic—on the events of 9/11."—Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal
