Críticas
"A wider-angle view of the war on terror... [A]n important book." -- Jonathan Mahler "Seth Jones is a gifted writer and scholar. His research, attention to detail and narrative skills make Hunting in the Shadows essential reading. At a time of public uncertainty about where the war against Al Qaeda is going, here is a reliable, compelling map, rich with new information." -- Steve Coll, Author of The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001 "Seth Jones has produced a masterpiece, pulling together a fragmented and little-known sequence of events into a coherent, and highly readable account. His 'wave and counter-wave' framework helps make sense of complex patterns, and his analysis is likely to stand the test of time. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in current events or in the future of conflict." -- David Kilcullen, author of The Accidental Guerilla "The best researched study of al Qaeda's plots, both successful and foiled, to attack America and its allies since 911. A critical account essential to understanding how the threat is evolving." -- Bruce Riedel, former CIA officer and senior advisor to three U.S. presidents on the Middle East and South Asia (also senior fellow at the Brookings Institution) "Seth Jones was called to the war zones by commanders of special operations forces to advise them on the nuances of the places, people and events of high importance in our pursuit of terrorists. Hunting in the Shadows is a clear and engaging account that draws on Seth's long experience in the region - a truly valuable work by a uniquely knowledgeable and talented writer." -- Admiral Eric T. Olson, U.S. Navy (Ret), Former Commander of United States Special Operations Command "A chronological, historical walk-through of successive waves of al-Qaeda terrorism from 1998 to the present... The author ably organizes all the pieces of the puzzle regarding successive terrorist attacks, fleshing out the numerous personalities involved, ... and establishing excellent perspective on the amorphous nature of the enemy and the dissention from within. ... From a knowledgeable guide, a thoughtful study of the pattern of violence and response."
Reseña del editor
This landmark history chronicles the dramatic, decade-long war against al Qa'ida and provides a model for understanding the ebb and flow of terrorist activity. Tracing intricately orchestrated terrorist plots and the elaborate, multiyear investigations to disrupt them, Seth G. Jones identifies three distinct "waves" of al Qa'ida violence. As Jonathan Mahler wrote in the New York Times Book Review, "studying these waves and the counterwaves that repelled them can tell us a lot about what works and what doesn't when it comes to fighting terrorism." The result is a sweeping, insider's account of what the war has been and what it might become.
