Aid's wide-ranging and timely assessment of the current state of U.S. intelligence should appeal to anyone interested in U.S. defense policy., Aid's book is full of ... revelatory anecdotes. It's one thing to say that the ISI has helped America's enemies; it's another thing to show precisely how., "Every chapter in the book is braided with intelligence nuggets. Aid weaves together original reporting, volumes of unclassified documents and his expertise. The book's chapters on Afghanistan and Pakistan are particularly engrossing…. Aid has written a highly entertaining and interesting book that provides a full-color, detailed snapshot of how the Obama administration is using intelligence to battle terrorism and that hints about how that battle is likely to be waged in the future." -Dina Temple-Raston, The Washington Post "Aid's book is full of … revelatory anecdotes. It's one thing to say that the ISI has helped America's enemies; it's another thing to show precisely how." -Ken Dilanian, Los Angeles Times "If the devil is in the details, then Matthew M. Aid, author of Intel Wars: The Secret History of the Fight Against Terrorism , has written a devilish book indeed … a highly researched look inside the decade's most important intelligence efforts, and while sobering at best, it's not always bad news. You just have to look harder for the good news." -Suzanne Kelly, CNN.com " Intel Wars teems with useful statistics and interesting anecdotes." -Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Aid's wide-ranging and timely assessment of the current state of U.S. intelligence should appeal to anyone interested in U.S. defense policy." - Publishers Weekly "An expert update on American security that turns up more problems than solutions."- Kirkus "Merits serious consideration by those concerned with our security at home and abroad." -Booklist, "Aid's wide-ranging and timely assessment of the current state of U.S. intelligence should appeal to anyone interested in U.S. defense policy." - Publishers Weekly "An expert update on American security that turns up more problems than solutions."- Kirkus, "Aid's wide-ranging and timely assessment of the current state of U.S. intelligence should appeal to anyone interested in U.S. defense policy." - Publishers Weekly "An expert update on American security that turns up more problems than solutions."- Kirkus "Merits serious consideration by those concerned with our security at home and abroad." -Booklist, Every chapter in the book is braided with intelligence nuggets.
