Description: "In America's Secret War, George Friedman identifies the United States' most dangerous enemies, delves into presidential strategies of the last quarter century, and reveals the real reasons behind the attack of 9/11- and the Bush administration's motivation for the war in Iraq. It describes in detail America's covert and overt efforts in the global war against terrorism: not only are U.S. armies in combat on every continent, but since 9/11 the intelligence services of dozens of nations have been operating in close partnership with the CIA." "Drawing on Stratfor's vast information-gathering network. Friedman presents an insightful picture of today's world that goes far beyond what is reported on television and in other new media."--BOOK JACKET.
