The Field of Fight

The instant New York Times bestseller detailing the United States's war on terror from a decorated National Security Advisor. A war is being waged against us by radical Islamists. Al-Qaeda has morphed into a much more dangerous, menacing threat: ISIS. Lt. General Michael T. Flynn's blunt and urgent book aims to inform Americans of the grave danger we face until our government takes decisive action against the terrorists that want to destroy us. Flynn spent more than thirty-three years in Army intelligence, and as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency worked closely with Generals Stanley McChrystal and David Petraeus, Admiral Mike Mullen, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and other policy, defense, intelligence, and war-fighting leaders. From coordinating on-the-ground operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, to building reliable intelligence networks, to preparing strategic plans for fighting terrorism, Flynn has witnessed government screw-ups, smokescreens, and censored information that our leaders don't want us to know. The Field of Fight explains why we have failed to stop terrorist groups from growing, and what we must do to stop them. The core message is that if you understand your enemies, it's easier to defeat them—but because our government has concealed the actions of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, and the role of Iran in radical Islam's rise, we don't fully understand the enormity of their threat. An informed call to action, The Field of Fight asserts that we must find a way to not only fight better, but to win.
