Find, Fix, Finish: Inside America's Counterterrorism Campaign

Aki Peritz and Eric Rosenbach, 2012

Overview

Following the 9/11 attacks, the United States lacked a defined counterterrorism doctrine. Ten years later, the landscape had dramatically transformed: Osama bin Laden was dead, al-Qaeda was significantly weakened, and major attacks on American soil were prevented. This transformation was driven by monumental strategic changes within the U.S. intelligence, defense, and political communities. The authors detail how America developed a highly effective approach to combating terrorists, often through precise, individual operations. The book offers insights into headline events of the past decade, acknowledges mistakes made, and explains how a Civil War-era concept was adapted with modern technology to manage a global threat.
