Description
About the Authors
Kirkus Reviews
“A skillful combination of antiterrorism fireworks with perceptive analysis of our strategies.”
Huntington News
“Outstanding…Regardless of your personal views on the so-called War on Terror Find, Fix, Finish is a comprehensive source book on the facts of terror attacks and how many such attacks were foiled by law enforcement and security agencies.”
The Spectator (UK)
“If you are a student of counter-terrorism or are interested in the legal limbo of rendition, detention and targeted killings, you should probably read it… [The authors] give a revealing account of the massaging of intelligence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq… The authors are no bleeding heart liberals. They acknowledge that too much bureaucracy impedes counter-terrorism and harms national security and they argue for legal but effective measures to assist both.
Library Journal
“This title explicates the new U.S. policy of finding terrorists, isolating them in one location, then finishing them off. Peritz (formerly, CIA Counterterrorism Ctr.) and Rosenbach (deputy assistant secretary of defense) describe the extensive evaluations of, and changes in, counterterrorism policy after 9/11 and the many expensive mistakes made along the way…General readers and undergraduates will find this accessible and useful for debate.”
Foreign Affairs
“Peritz and Rosenbach provide more context, delving into the now-familiar difficulties experts faced in persuading the U.S. government to take the al Qaeda threat seriously before 9/11 and examining the problems created by the post-9/11 counterterrorism overdrive.”
