COPY ISBN
Kitfield, an award-winning journalist, looks at how the U.S. intelligence, defense, and law enforcement communities have battled the various threats to America that have arisen since 9/11. Working to overcome bureaucratic inertia, turf wars within and among agencies, friction between conventional and special forces in the Department of Defense, and legal barriers to communication between the legal and intelligence communities, the various defense special forces have made some amazing achievements, generally unknown to the public. Kitfield's bass-baritone voice tells his story well. He is expressive without being melodramatic, ably relating this account that involves so many disparate individuals. The narrative and the dialog/quotes are read with ease and consistency.
VERDICT Public libraries and those libraries with an interest in the military should consider. ["This easy-to-read book tells how America can fight a different kind of war if those in charge are open to change and experimentation": LJ 10/1/16 review of the Basic: Perseus hc.]
