The Instant New York Times Bestseller.

A war is being waged against us by radical Islamists, and, as current events demonstrate, they are only getting stronger. Al-Qaeda has morphed into a much more dangerous, menacing threat: ISIS. Lt. General Michael T. Flynn is blunt and urgent. This book aims to inform the American people of the grave danger we face in the war on terror?and will continue to face?until our government takes decisive action against the terrorists that want nothing more than to destroy us and our way of life.
Flynn spent more than thirty three years in Army intelligence, and as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency worked closely with Generals Stanley McChrystal and David Petraeus, Admiral Mike Mullen, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and other policy, defense, intelligence, and war-fighting leaders. From coordinating on-the-ground operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, to building reliable intelligence networks, to preparing strategic plans for fighting terrorism, Flynn has been a firsthand witness to government screw-ups, smokescreens, and censored information that our leaders don’t want us to know.
The Field of Fight succinctly lays out why we have failed to stop terrorist groups from growing, and what we must do to stop them. The core message is that if you understand your enemies, it’s a lot easier to defeat them?but because our government has concealed the actions of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, and the role of Iran in the rise of radical Islam, we don’t fully understand the enormity of the threat they pose against us.
A call to action that is sensible, informed, and original, The Field of Fight asserts that we must find a way to not only fight better, but to win.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"General Flynn's The Field of Fight is as good an introduction to the long war we are in as any I have read. It is also a sobering and indeed frightening indictment of the intellectual dishonesty which has blocked our leaders from winning this war." --Newt Gingrich

"The Field of Fight is a book worth reading by anyone concerned about the future security of America. It is both an engaging personal memoir by a great American soldier and military intelligence officer, General Mike Flynn, and a strategic plan by General Flynn of how to win the global war against radical Islam and its big power supporters. The leaders of the next American administration would benefit from reading The Field of Fight." --Senator Joseph Lieberman

"The Field of Fight is a must-read for all Americans, especially military and law enforcement. It is a seminal book in the global war against radical Islam! Where are the fatwas from Mecca and Medina?!" --Lt. General (Retired) Tom McInerny, former Deputy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force

"If you wish to understand the terrorist attacks sweeping the world, there's no better place to start than The Field of Fight." --National Review

Field of Fight Worth Reading

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book has a deep understanding of what’s necessary and required to defeat a certain kind of enemy. All wars & philosophies are different. Consequently, one must understand the enemy in order to defeat them. I respect the author, who in my view, is a casualty of war on another level.

Thomas M. Loarie

An Acknowledged Expert and Tactician Explains How to End the War on Radical Islam

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

Lt. Michael Flynn has worked at the highest levels of the military-intelligence field. He served as the eighteenth director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for President Obama from July 2012 to August 2014.

He was fired as DIA Director in 2014 over what US officials cited as clashes over his leadership style; however, he claims it was because he took a stand about "radical Islam." “The Field of Flight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies” is his response. It outlines his not so “politically-correct” stand on “radical Islam.”

Controversy continued to shadow Flynn. He was named by President Trump in late 2016 as the twenty-fifth National Security Advisor. He was forced to resign after information surfaced he had misled Vice President Mike Pence about the nature and content of his communications with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, during the presidential transition. These communications and his role as a foreign agent have engulfed him and the Trump administration in on-going investigations of Russian collusion and tampering in US elections.

In “The Field of Fight”, Flynn, acknowledged as a brilliant tactician and a top intelligence officer, provides deep insights into our fight against “radical Islam” and how we should deal with this global threat. He believes that very few people and understand that a global war is being waged against us by “a messianic mass movement of evil people,” most of them inspired by a totalitarian ideology: radical Islam.

This book stands on its own and is an excellent resource for those interested in an expert’s view of the global fight facing us.

Flynn knows the enemy better than most. He felt we were losing the battle when he wrote this book (2015). He wrote “The Field of Fight” to raise awareness of the global war being waged against us and to outline a winning strategy for the United States. Simply put, our enemies, ISIS and its allies - North Korea, Russia, China, Cuba, and Venezuela – hate the West and want to see our society destroyed.

Information in this book came from those who trained, worked and fought alongside Flynn and from American military and defense agencies. Dozens of interviews were conducted with the promise of anonymity. Sources were top officials, junior officers, noncommissioned officers and intelligence analysts.

He has much to say about Iran, information suppressed by two consecutive administrations, ISIS and Al Qaeda. “ISIS and Al Qaeda are driven by a systematic vision of how to conquer the world and impose their religious ideology on all of us. Did you know that ISIS has a detailed written timetable global victory?”

Flynn argues against ‘political correctness’ and for the need of an Islamic Reformation. He does not pull any punches nor does he suggest that we rely on military power to win. To destroy them, we need:
 A clarity of purpose by facing reality and defining the enemy clearly; a new strategy driven by “true,” not falsified, intelligence; and a resolve to win.
 A holistic approach, integrating our economic, political and military strengths.
 A new set of 21st Century Alliances.
 Ample, not token, resources.
 Rules of engagement which do not restrict our soldiers from doing what they are supposed to be doing.
 To attack the radicals everywhere in every way and to deny the enemy safe havens in countries that shelter them (reinvigorate the Bush Doctrine).
 To discredit their ideology.

Flynn notes that we have defeated the radical Islamists every time we have fought them seriously. We lost our resolve over the past eight years (the Obama years) allowing them grow into a global threat. Our leaders took them for granted and told us we were doing fine. Flynn says we need our leaders to tell the truth.

He goes on to remind us that “Radical Islamists” represent a failed civilization. The Muslim world today is a spectacular failure. They are an illiterate society with 20% unable to read. They are afraid that if the Islamic people were free to choose a winner, they would choose us.

How to Win

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016

General Flynn's prescription for defeating radical Islamism starts with recognizing that it is primarily political, not religious. He would then "destroy the jihadi armies and kill or capture their leaders," implement a dedicated program to discredit their ideology, create a new set of global alliances to counter the common jihadist threat, and challenge regimes which support our enemies. And if you can't imagine our current national leadership doing that then he suggests we elect leaders who will. General Flynn himself would make just such a leader.

Well written with a clear understanding of the subject. I enjoyed the early background on Michael Flynn and how he got to where he is. He presents the challenges of the battle, war and the uncomfortable truths about governments followed by a way forward. It's a good read and digestible.

Words of wisdom written by a man who had the courage to say things that certain powerful people didn't want to hear. He's a hero and a prophet of his times. He has been hounded and harangued and a victim of a corrupt court system. I hope he's found innocent soon and has all his court costs repaid.

General Flynn is articulate and lays out a compelling treatise on the war on terror. It’s too bad that more leaders don’t head his advice.

Right think and political correctness are the enemies of truth and candour. You can’t fight what you can’t acknowledge exists.

Ouvrage inintéressant sur la carrière de FLYNN et sa pensée

Reviewed in France on February 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

Erreur d'achat liée à mon souhait de connaître la pensée du conseiller militaire de TRUMP choisi, comme BANNON, sans validation du Congrès.
Ce livre met en valeur avant tout la vanité de FLYNN (un ego susceptible d'entrer en conflit avec celui de TRUMP) et, de façon bizarre, assure un service minimum de critique de POUTINE, contredit par la réalité des liens de FLYNN avec les Russes qui lui ont coûté sa place en 3 semaines.
Son CV et son éviction de l'armée plus instructif que son livre qui confirme cependant que FLYNN est un chien fou que personne ne peut maîtriser y compris lui-même.
Il est rarissime que je ne donne pas 5 étoiles à mes achats sue Amazon. J'aurais mieux fait de tenir compte des avis critiques en anglais, mais la personnage était un élément essentiel pour notre avenir à tous à l'époque.
