Hardback. Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon began working on this book shortly after leaving the National Security Council, where, as director and senior director for counterterrorism, they watched the rise ofal-Qaeda and helped coordinate America's fight against Osama bin Laden and his organization. They warned in articles and i…nterviews about the appearance of a new breed of terrorists who were determined to kill on the grand scale. More than a year before September 11, 2001, they began writing THE AGE OF SACRED TERROR to sound the alarm for a nation that had not recognized the gravest threat of our time. One of their book's goals has remained- to provide the insights to understand an enemy unlike any seen in living memory. But after September 11th, a second, equally crucial goal was added- to understand how America let its defenses down, how warnings went unheeded and how key parts of the government failed at vital tasks. THE AGE OF SACRED TERROR also describes the road ahead, where the terrorists will look to draw strength, and what the United States must do, at home and abroad, to stop them. 2002. First edition, second printing. A near fine copy only marked by light soiling to the fore edge and a previous owners initials to the front free endpaper. The d/w is unclipped and also near fine.

First edition about the war against radical Islam and what we need to do to combat the real threat. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "11/1/05 To Madeleine- With great respect and gratitude for all your doing to get us going. The right election again. Best w…ishes, Danny." ÂThe recipient, Madeleine K. Albright, was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the â3 Dsâ of NATO, âwhich is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication â" because I think that we donât need any of those three âDsâ to happen.â After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown Universityâs School of Foreign Service. For Albrightâs contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Fine in a near fine dust jacket, bookplate of Madeleine Albright to the front pastedown. "Before September 11, Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon warned clearly and convincingly that America had underestimated its enemies in al Qaeda. Few listened. Now they have issued a new and chilling portrait of the evolving threat, and they warn again that America does not understand its adversaries. This is an intelligent, important, and riveting book from two of the country's leading specialists on violent Islamic extremism" (Steve Coll, author of 'Ghost Wars').
