Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

Robert Baer recounts his career as a ground soldier in the CIA's war on terrorism, running agents in the back alleys of the Middle East. He paints a chilling picture of how terrorism works on the inside and provides compelling evidence about how Washington sabotaged the CIA's efforts to root out the world's deadliest terrorists. The book is an examination of the roots of modern terrorism and the CIA's failure to acknowledge and neutralise the growing fundamentalist threat, and an engrossing memoir of Baer's education as an intelligence operative. It includes revelations about the strategic alliance Osama bin Laden forged with Iran in 1996 to mastermind terrorist attacks on the United States and elsewhere, about the planned coup d'etat against Saddam Hussein and how it was aborted by the National Security Council, and about the CIA's disastrous decision in 1991 to shut down its operations in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, ignoring the fundamentalists working in those countries.

Sitater fra dette verket

I knew, in short, that dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood was playing with fire. These guys were programmed for trouble. But if Reagan administration really was determined to fight it out with our enemies in Syria and Lebanon, we couldn't have found better surrogates.

"Do you know how they refer to Qaddafi in the White House?" Bearden asked.
I didn't.
"They call him the Mad Dog of the Middle East. Look, Baer, if Genghis Kahn were to crawl out of his grave and declare his intention to get rid of Qaddafi, this administration would support him. So forget about it."

Krigen i Syria, med sine første blodige kamper i 2011, har fått en nesten utrolig ensidig dekning i norske medier. Kanskje fordi Norge deltar i krigen, og sannheten er den første som dør i en krig?
Kanskje også fordi USA har vært svært dyktige til å la sitt syn prege den vestlige verden.
Men anti-imperialistisk kunnskap og analyse finnes også. På denne lista har jeg samla endel av bøkene jeg har lest om denne skitne krigen, både medstrøms, motstrøms og noe midt i mellom. Kom gjerne med begrunna tips til flere bøker. Sist oppdatert 10.02.2021
