After 9/11 the United States waged a war on terrorism that sought to defeat Al Qaeda through brute force. By 2005, the Pentagon turned to other ways. Adapting themes from classic Cold War deterrence theory, these strategists have expanded the field of battle in order to disrupt jihadist networks in ever-more creative ways.

Reveals the work of two highly-regarded insiders who have seen firsthand the evolution of U.S. security policy since 9/11, and describes how the United States rediscovered a strategy used by General Ulysses S. Grant in the Civil War, updated it, and re-deployed it in the most technologically-advanced fighting force the world has ever seen.
