Synopsis

In "Counterstrike", Eric Schmitt and Thom Shanker of "The New York Times" tell the story of how a group of analysts within the Pentagon, at spy agencies, and in law enforcement have devised and carried out an innovative and effective new strategy to fight terrorism, unbeknownst to most and in sharp contrast to the war-mongering and cowboy slogans that characterized the U.S. government's public posture. Adapting themes from the classic deterrence theory that worked so effectively during the cold war, these strategies have expanded the field of battle in order to disrupt jihadist networks in ever more creative ways.
