5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Research and Detail
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019

I'm intrigued by how America got to the place it is today, falling into the hands of the Left, the communists. The Author of this book has done an incredible job of researching the origins of terror as we know it today. The details and trails you go on are amazing. Trace it back, and if you're old enough like me, you'll see 80% of all terror originated back in the late '60s and early '70s in Moscow via Havana, Cuba. Fascinating read.

I had read the original article which appeared in the New York Times magazine section in 1981, and found the book equally as compelling and disturbing given what has transpired in the subsequent years. I perhaps am not in complete agreement on certain terrorist linkages, but appreciate the obvious work that went into detailing and explaining this complex world network.

Interesting book. Ever since the making of the dvd The Collapse of Communism: The Untold Story and the book And Reality Be Damned, this is a book worth looking at.

THE SEARCH FOR A 'MAGIC BUTTON' IN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY

Gregory F. Treverton's book, "Covert Action: The Limits of Intervention in the Postwar World," is full of stories of CIA schemes gone wrong. In one surprising revelation, he describes how CIA Director William Casey, angry at his experts on terrorism for coming up with little evidence linking the Soviet Union to terror groups, ordered them to read Claire Sterling's famous book "The Terror Network." They did and found that virtually all of the examples she cited turned out to be CIA disinformation -- false stories planted in the foreign press that she unwittingly used in good faith.

4.0 out of 5 stars When Terrorism Was A Daily Occurrence
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
An excellent and eye-opening overview of the time in the late-sixties when acts of terrorism were frequent occurrences. The book explains how they were often connected not only in motivation but in players and organisers. I found the level of description of the players to be rather shallow and as a result they often come over as cyphers.
