Format: Hardcover
Claire Sterling states over and over again, that terrorism is specifically intended to force Democratic governments to behave like Fascist/police states, so as to encourage the masses to rise up and make revolution. She quotes terror-organization leaders on this, in case there are doubts. Then she follows the trails to see who is interested in creating that climate.

I read this book years ago, forgot most of it in the time since, but recently, after reading a piece by Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa about the "new cold war" I looked it back up. There are so many things in this book that were supposedly "debunked" that now have actually been proven true that I realize what a treasure trove it is and I plan to re-read it, and to recommend it to others. Especially since it was written so many years ago, it can't be accused of being partisan regarding today's politics or parties. In the years since it was written, The Wall has fallen, East Germany's records have been parsed, Iraq's records are being parsed and disclosed, so many other sources are open and verifiable, it is easy to determine credibility, and on the whole the book's claims have been proven. Without going into detail, I will suggest that it is extremely relevant for today. It draws links between terror groups and their leaders, and the governments that fund them, that will answer many questions for anyone looking to try to put together the puzzle that is today's world events. It also shows (by inference) what the future holds. So if you're interested in current events, history, the future, or just trying to sort out the mess that is the world we live in, add this book to your read-soon list.

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.

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.
