What emerges in a unique picture of the war on terror that you cannot get anywhere else. For example, Sun Tzu tells us that all war are based on economics and forces us to examine the economic underpinnings of terrorist attacks. What is the real battle underlying terrorism? How does attacking civilians generate money for the terrorists? What will happen if the West refuses to engage terrorism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor's Forward to Second Edition \u003cbr\u003eKey Dates in Modern Islamic Terror \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Strategy and Terror \u003cbr\u003e1 Analysis \u003cbr\u003e Freedom versus Terror\u003cbr\u003e2 Going to War\u003cbr\u003e The Economics of Terror\u003cbr\u003e3 Planning an Attack\u003cbr\u003e Uniting against Terror 51\u003cbr\u003e4 Positioning\u003cbr\u003e In Position to Attack Terror\u003cbr\u003e5 Momentum \u003cbr\u003e Innovation against Terror\u003cbr\u003e6 Weakness and Strength\u003cbr\u003e The Terrorists' Weak Points\u003cbr\u003e7 Armed Conflict\u003cbr\u003e Minimizing Destruction\u003cbr\u003e8 Adaptability \u003cbr\u003e Shifting Our Priorities\u003cbr\u003e9 Armed March\u003cbr\u003e Campaigning against Terror \u003cbr\u003e10 Field Position \u003cbr\u003e Evaluating Our Options\u003cbr\u003e11 Types of Terrain \u003cbr\u003e Responding to Terror \u003cbr\u003e12 Attacking with Fire \u003cbr\u003e Fighting the Message War \u003cbr\u003e13 Using Spies\u003cbr\u003e Acquiring Intelligence \u003cbr\u003eThe Future: The Ten Keys to Winning \u003cbr\u003eIndex of Topics in The Art of War \u003cbr\u003eGlossary of Key Concepts \u003cbr\u003eAbout the Translator and Author \u003cbr\u003eOther Art of War Books by Gary Gagliardi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clearbridge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056017359088,"sku":"9781929194889","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781929194889_p0.jpg?v=1763637749","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781929194889","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
