Includes Author Dedication; Author's Note; Preface; Afterword; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. Illustrated with a section a both black-and-white and color photographic plates. "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. strategy to combat ISIS and drug cartels. ISIS could boast an astonishing $2.4 billion of revenue in 2015 - just one example of how the global war on terror has largely neglected what should be its biggest target: the money trail. One country, however, has taken the lead in this major new front of unconventional warfare: Israel. With the creation of its top-secret Harpoon program, led by legendary Mossad boss Meir Dagan, Israel began directing spies, soldiers, and attorneys to disrupt and destroy money pipelines and financial institutions that paid for the bloodshed perpetrated by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups. This espionage start-up has become a blueprint for the U.S.'s own fight against terror and other criminal enterprises. Written by an attorney who worked alongside Israel's intelligence community and a bestselling author, Harpoon offers a globetrotting story of the Israeli-led covert effort, now joined by the Americans, to choke off the terrorists' oxygen supply -- money -- via unconventioal warfare. Among the many revelations in Harpoon, authors Nitsana Darshan-Leitner and Samuel M. Katz show how Hamas ans Hezbollah were being funded through U.S.-based charitable donations and banks that facilitated suicide bombings and missile attacks inside Israel -- including attacks that resulted in the deaths of American citizens. Harpoon efforts shut down these money channels with spy-thrilling dare, while lawyers won devastating rulings in federal courts in the United States against terrorist groups and their financial aiders and abettors. Gripping and authoritative, Harpoon is a vital, groundbreaking addition the literature of counter-terrorism." -- from the inner front jacket flap. "Harpoon taught the world that in order to undermine terror, you take away its money. This history of how Israel brought this new mindset to the front lines of the global war on terror is fast-paced and reads like a thriller." -- Valerie Plame, former CIA officer. "It's a cliche after Watergate that the key investigation in most circumstances is to 'follow the money' (in the words of Deep Throat). This is the story of how Mossad led this movement and substantially effected investigations of terrorism and similarly important matters and how this influenced the CIA's later work in the same field. Bravo Mossad! Thanks for leading the way." -- R. James Woolsey, CIA director (1993-1995). "The riveting and untold story of the intelligence task force that launched a dynamic new front in the war on terror. A thrill ride with one of the most important Israeli start-ups of them all." -- Tamir Pardo, director of Mossad (2011-2016). "Money drives terrorism. If funding is cut, terrorism is reduced. A groundbreaking look at how spies, soldiers, statesmen, and lawyers waged a relentless campaign to dry up the financial streams that funded terrorism against Israel and the United States. A great read about a compelling issue." -- Professor Alan Dershowitz, leading civil rights attorney.…
