Description: "In Relentless Pursuit, Samuel M. Katz reviews the escalating series of terrorist attacks on the U.S. during the last decade and more, including those in many foreign countries and finally in New York and at the Pentagon. In the process, he tells the gripping story of the DSS and its agents protecting us and our representatives here and abroad.

Katz's detailed, personal, on-the-ground anecdotes bring home the contexts and linkages of the War on Terrorism that has been fought on our behalf by the DSS since the 1980s. Relentless Pursuit is a stirring tribute to an unsung group of brave Americans."--BOOK JACKET.
