Harpoon: Inside the Covert War Against Terrorism's Money Masters
Autor Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Samuel M. Katzen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2018
A revelatory account of the cloak-and-dagger Israeli campaign to target the finances fueling terror organizations--an effort that became the blueprint for U.S. efforts to combat threats like ISIS and drug cartels.
ISIS boasted $2.4 billion of revenue in 2015, yet for too long the global war on terror overlooked financial warfare as an offensive strategy. "Harpoon," the creation of Mossad legend Meir Dagan, directed spies, soldiers, and attorneys to disrupt and destroy money pipelines and financial institutions that paid for the bloodshed perpetrated by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups. Written by an attorney who worked with Harpoon and a bestselling journalist,Harpoonoffers a gripping story of the Israeli-led effort, now joined by the Americans, to choke off the terrorists' oxygen supply, money, via unconventional warfare.

Recenzii
"It's
a
cliché
after
Watergate
that
the
keyinvestigation
in
most
circumstances
is
to
'follow
the
money'
(in
the
words
ofDeep
Throat).
This
is
the
story
of
how
Mossad
led
this
movement
andsubstantially
effected
investigations
of
terrorism
and
similarly
importantmatters
and
how
this
influenced
the
CIA's
later
work
in
the
same
field.
BravoMossad!
Thanks
for
leading
the
way."—R.
