SHADOW WARRIORS(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　“An alarming but necessary book that reads like a thriller. By
raising uncomfortable questions, Ken Timmerman has performed a
significant public service.”
　　–Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk radio host
　　Some have called it the CIA’s greatest covert operation of all
time.
　　It is an intelligence war conducted behind the scenes, aimed at
confusing, misleading, and ultimately defeating the enemy. The goal
is nothing less than toppling the regime in power. A network of
agents has been planted at key crossroads of power, stealing
secrets, planting disinformation, and cooking intelligence. The
plan involves sophisticated political sabotage operations that
bring in opposition forces who can challenge the regime openly, in
a way the CIA cannot. The scope is breathtaking.
　　Who is the target of this vast, sophisticated CIA operation? Not
the mullahs in Tehran or North Korea’s power-mad Kim Jong Il; the
target is America’s president, George W. Bush.
　　Drawing on exclusive information from senior government
officials, intelligence operatives, and many others, investigative
reporter Kenneth Timmerman provides the full, untold story of the
sabotage that occurs behind the scenes at key government agencies
like the CIA and State Department–and the profound effect it has on
America’s ability to confront its most dangerous enemies. In Shadow
Warriors, Timmerman brings to light the vast underground working to
undercut our nation’s efforts to win the war on terror–revealing
the when, where, how, and who for the first time. He also exposes
the Democratic politicians who have sold out America’s national
security for political gain.
　　In Shadow Warriors you’ll learn:
　　?How the CIA and State Department sabotaged the administration’s
Iraq war plans from the start–sparking the insurgency in the
process
　　?How a high-level State Department official gathered aides after
Bush’s reelection to insist they owed no allegiance to the
president or his policies
　　?How pre-war intelligence on Iraq was cooked–not by the Bush
administration, but by its opponents
　　?How and why the shadow warriors have leaked details of virtually
every covert U.S. intelligence tool used in the war on terror
　　?How the leaks have devastated our efforts to fight
terrorism–such as when a key U.S. ally rebuffed the CIA director’s
request for assistance by saying, “You Americans can’t keep
secrets”
　　?Why U.S. intelligence refused to examine important documents
detailing the secret Iraqi networks that became the heart of the
insurgency
　　?How newly discovered Iraqi government documents reveal the
extent of Saddam Hussein’s ties to international terrorists and the
truth about his WMD arsenal
　　Shadow Warriors shows that George W. Bush never got the first
rule of Washington: People are policy. He allowed his political
enemies to run roughshod over his administration. This insider’s
look at secret White House meetings, political backstabbing, and
war-room summits is an eye-opening account of the mind-set that is
crippling our effectiveness in Iraq and around the world.
