McMaster, US Army, ret., the former national security advisor and author of the best-selling classic Dereliction of Duty, comes a bold and provocative re-examination of the most critical foreign policy and national security challenges that face the United States, and an urgent call to compete to preserve America’s standing and security.

En unik inblick i återtagandet av Mosul från terrorsekten IS en osminkad och detaljrik berättelse om hur ett specialförband opererar i strid, våldsam död, kamratskap i främsta linjen och krigets oskyldiga offer. Svenske elitsoldaten Axel Stål är tillbaka i stridens hetta. Som nybefordrad överstelötjnant i kurdiska säkerhetstjänsten blir hans uppgift att hjälpa till med återtagandet av Mosul från terrorsekten Islamiska Staten. Men trots hans långa karriär som operatör runt om i världens värsta oroshärdar visar sig uppdraget bli långt blodigare och svårare än vad Axel någonsin tidigare varit med om.

Widely heralded on publication as a “must-read” (Military Review) and “important window on America’s battle with al-Qaeda” (Washington Post), Ali Soufan’s revelatory account of the war on terror as seen from its front lines changed the way we understand al-Qaeda and how the United States prosecuted the war — and led to hard questions being asked of our leaders.

En diciembre de 1972, varios encapuchados secuestraron a Jean McConville, una viuda de 38 años con 10 hijos a su cargo. En aquel barrio católico de Belfast todos intuían que se trataba de una represalia del IRA, pero nadie se atrevía a decirlo por el terror y paranoia imperantes en la época más caliente del conflicto. El crimen no empezó a resolverse hasta 2003, cinco años después de los acuerdos de paz del Viernes Santo, al ser desenterrados los restos mortales de McConville en una playa solitaria.

In a memoir of rare power, John explores the dark heart of Northern Irish sectarianism in the '70s and '80s. With searing honesty and native Belfast wit, he describes the light and darkness of his unique childhood, and his teenage journey through mod culture and ultra-Loyalism, before an escape from Belfast to London - where, still haunted by the shadow of his fractured family history - he began a turbulent and hedonistic adulthood.

Este libro, en el que Eric Frattini ha trabajado desde 1995 y para el que ha consultado más de 270 documentos de Agencias Federales de EE.UU, analiza documentos del FBI que, tras los atentados del 11 de septiembre, fueron de nuevo clasificados como secretos y es el único libro que analiza la gestación y ejecución de los ataques, con una información actualizada hasta el día 30 de octubre.

Black Friday is a ghastly account of the one of the biggest terrorist attacks on Bombay, in 1993.

Kein Tag hat sich stärker ins kollektive Gedächtnis gebrannt. Die Bilder, die Geschichten, die Konsequenzen. Doch die Worte derer, die den 11. September tatsächlich erlebt haben, fehlten fast zwanzig Jahre lang. Garrett M. Graff hat diese Worte gefunden, er hat alle Dokumente, alle Interviews zusammengetragen, hat die Stimmen der Einsatzkräfte, der Zeugen, der Überlebenden versammelt und daraus eine überwältigende Erzählung kompiliert - vielstimmig, erfahrungsecht, im O-Ton.

For more than a decade, America has been waging a new kind of war against the financial networks of rogue regimes, proliferators, terrorist groups, and criminal syndicates. Juan Zarate, a chief architect of modern financial warfare and a former senior Treasury and White House official, pulls back the curtain on this shadowy world. In this gripping story, he explains in unprecedented detail how a small, dedicated group of officials redefined the Treasury's role and used its unique powers, relationships, and reputation to apply financial pressure against America's enemies.

As early as 2014, after the fall of Mosul, maps of ISIS showing a desire to take over South Asia started to appear on social media. But how far has that borne fruit? Or has it always been more of an ill-conceived chimera? One of the shortcomings of our understanding of ISIS in India - and indeed in South Asia - is that neither the media nor the public discourse seems to know what ISIS itself is. The militant group has eclipsed Al Qaeda to become the most feared terror group in the West, and it continues to expand its influence, despite losing the territory it had captured.

Afganistán, 1990. El régimen pro soviético de Najibulá parece dar sus últimos estertores tras más de una década de guerra contra los muyahidines. El país, sin saberlo, está abocado a un conflicto fratricida que acabará desembocando en uno de los regímenes más brutales de la historia moderna: el de los talibanes.

Está previsto que se quede un año.

El 19 de febrero de 1992, Iñaki Rekarte empezó a caminar deprisa en dirección contraria al coche bomba que había aparcado minutos antes en el barrio de La Albericia de Santander. Segundos más tarde vio pasar a su objetivo, una furgoneta de la policía, buscó en el bolsillo el mando a distancia, levantó el brazo y apretó el botón con todas sus fuerzas. La explosión absorbió durante unos instantes todo el oxígeno de la calle; luego lo soltó de golpe.

In the summer of 2014 the world watched in horror as the black flag of ISIS swept all before it. Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, fell, ISIS proclaimed the caliphate and the horror mounted: from the mass murder, rape and enslavement of the Yazidis to the public beheading of journalists by British jihadis. For Macer Gifford it wasn't enough to ask why more wasn't being done; he knew he had to act.

Er nannte sich Murat Cem. Doch in den Akten heißt er nur VP01. Unter welchem Namen er heute lebt, ist ebenso geheim wie sein Aufenthaltsort. Der Mann, der lange Zeit der wohl beste und wichtigste V-Mann Deutschlands war, blieb stets ein Phantom. Bis es den SPIEGEL-Reportern Jörg Diehl, Roman Lehberger und Fidelius Schmid gelang, ihn zu treffen, fast ein Jahr lang zu begleiten und seine unfassbare Lebensgeschichte aufzuschreiben. Im verdeckten Einsatz für die Polizei überführte Murat Cem nicht nur Drogen- und Waffenhändler.

What motivates suicide bombers in Iraq and around the world? Can winning the hearts and minds of local populations stop them? Will the phenomenon spread to the United States? These vital questions are at the heart of this important book. Mia Bloom examines the use, strategies, successes, and failures of suicide bombing in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and assesses the effectiveness of government responses. She argues that in many instances the efforts of Israel, Russia, and the United States in Iraq have failed to deter terrorism and suicide bombings.

As Audrey Kurth Cronin explains in Power to the People, what we are seeing now is an exacerbation of an age-old trend. Over the centuries, the most surprising developments in warfare have occurred because of advances in technologies combined with changes in who can use them. Indeed, accessible innovations in destructive force have long driven new patterns of political violence. When Nobel invented dynamite and Kalashnikov designed the AK-47, each inadvertently spurred terrorist and insurgent movements that killed millions and upended the international system.

Name of the Enemy weaves complex political, sociological, and religious issues together to provide a comprehensive understanding of the forces involved and the possible future of Islamic terrorism.

Il 27 luglio 1996 una guardia di sicurezza di nome Richard Jewell individuò uno zaino sospetto nel Centennial Olympic Park di Atlanta, teatro in quei giorni dei Giochi olimpici. All'interno c'era una bomba. La deflagrazione provocò due morti e un centinaio di feriti, ma senza l'intervento di Jewell il bilancio sarebbe stato certamente più grave. Con gli occhi del mondo puntati addosso, la città non si fermò e i giochi continuarono. La stampa e le autorità non esitarono a fare di Jewell un eroe. Tuttavia, la pressione per trovare l'attentatore era altissima.

Armed with clear evidence of computer espionage, he began a highly personal quest to expose a hidden network of spies that threatened national security. But would the authorities back him up?
