Book description
Counterstrike tells a brief but fast-paced and mildly optimistic story of how US counterterrorism policies, strategies, and tactics evolved after 9/11 up to the killing of bin Laden. The authors argue that such a quick,smooth surgical in-and-out operation could not have been carried out ten years ago. It mainly focuses on a group of intelligence, law enforcement and military officials and how they devised a new counterterrorism strategy.. It is also an interesting case study of how to apply deterrance to counterterrorism policies,a concept I had found absurd because we are fighting Islamist that think it is their God-given duty to kill us all. This strategy, I learned, also includes propaganda on how to portray Islamist extremists negatively in such a way as to gain traction in the Muslim world, which was fairly interesting. It also explores the militarys Cyber Command, which aims to counter Islamist websites and Internet propaganda. It also briefly describes the militarys and CIAs UAV programs, as well as US Special Operations Forces operating in Pakistan.The principal theme of Counterstrike is how in the course of the past decade the governments force of professional counterterrorism analysts has grown from a group small enough to know each others phone numbers to a vast army linked by supercomputers processing thousands of bits of data in nanoseconds. And, by no means incidentally, spending tens of billions of dollars in the process.Schmitt and Shanker reveal without editorial comment the strong contrast between the management styles of our last two Presidents: While Bush showed an apetite for tactical and operational details -- [for example,] the number of spies working against Al Qaeda in Pakistan . . . -- Obama wanted to understand the strategic nature of the threat and demanded to know when his personal orders were required to break through resistance across the intelligence and security community to make things work at the tactical and operational level. The bureaucratic squabbles, most notably during the tenure of Secretary of Defense Runsfeld, are another theme that stands out.However, the overarching theme of Counterstrike is the gradual maturation of American counter-terrorist policy in the opening decade of the 21st Century, shifting gradually from one bent simply on using brute force to kill or capture terrorists to a much more sophisticated and broad-based policy of deterrence drawn from the playbook of the Cold War. As Scmitt and Shanker report, Deterrence -- updated, expanded, even redefined -- is now official American policy for countering Al Qaeda and its affiliated terrorist organizations.At first blush, deterrence might seem futile against an enemy willing, even eager, to die for his beliefs. However, as Schmitt and Shanker reveal, there is a wide range of tactics available to delay or prevent terrorist attacks. Among these are multifaceted techniques such as cyber-warfare to disrupt the communications and financial transactions of the Al Qaeda network and creative actions by local CIA or military officers. (In the most amusing of the latter, American officers first set high bounty prices on Al Qaeda commanders, then lowered them to imply that the terrorists importance had declined; soon, to prove their continuing importance, the terrorists revealed their locations by striking out against the Americans in impulsive and foolhardy ways. The result, of course, is that they were then either killed or captured.)So, there is considerable substance in Counterstrike. The discussion of how deterrence policy evolved into the U.S. strategy against Al Qaeda is especially illuminating. Unfortunately, the structure and writing style dont enhance the readers experience. The book is slow going, consisting largely of one long expository paragraph after another, relieved only by lengthy quotes from some of the hundreds of individuals the authors interviewed. Schmitt and Shanker might have benefited from a few lessons in nonfiction writing by a master of the craft such as Tracy Kidder, Erik Larson, or even Bob Woodward.The book shows how these novel, unconventional strategies were employed in planning and carrying out the raid that got bin Laden.This is a brief read; check it out. Its fairly interesting, and wont take you all that long.
