This book which will come as a surprise to many educated observers and historians suggests that Jews and Jewish intellectuals have played a considerable role in the development and shaping of modern American conservatism. The focus is on the rise of a group of Jewish intellectuals and activists known as neoconservatives who began to impact on American public policy during the Cold War with the Soviet Union and most recently in the lead up to and invasion of Iraq. It presents a portrait of the life and work of the original and small group of neocons including Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and Sidney Hook. This group has grown into a new generation who operate as columnists in conservative think tanks like The Heritage and The American Enterprise Institute, at colleges and universities, and in government in the second Bush Administration including such lightning rod figures as Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Elliot Abrams. The book suggests the neo cons have been so significant in reshaping modern American conservatism and public policy that they constitute a Neoconservative Revolution.

"Richard H. Shultz examines the pivotal role of intelligence in twenty-first century irregular warfare through an in-depth examination of the fight against Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) between 2004 and 2009. AQI was the most lethal group that fought the US occupation of the country after the toppling of Saddam Hussein. US Special Operations Command deployed Task Force 714, a joint services counterterrorism force, to Iraq to fight the growing insurgency. TF 714's leader, Maj. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, quickly realized that AQI was unlike any insurgent or terrorist organization that preceded it. AQI was comprised of decentralized networks that employed information age technologies to operate across a broad geographical landscape. This book is the story of how TF 714 had to reinvent itself to destroy the leadership, financial units, communications and media centers, intelligence services, bomb production facilities, and arms acquisition procurers of AQI. Along with changes to operational tempo and command structure, TF 714 altered its methods and practices of intelligence collection, analysis, and covert action. TF 714 is an exemplar of successful organizational learning and how intelligence must lead the way in campaigns against nonstate armed groups"--

In Talibanistan, an unparalleled group of experts offer a nuanced understanding of this critical region. Edited by Peter Bergen, author of the bestselling books The Longest War and The Osama Bin Laden I Know, and Katherine Tiedemann, these essays examine in detail the embattled territory from Kandahar in Afghanistan to Pakistan's
