A fascinating read. There are secrets in this book even I didnt know.

Gen. Michael V. Hayden, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency

This operation remains the gold standard for how America and Great Britain came together to crush the greatest conspiracy since 9/11. Disruption knocks it out of the park.

Thank you for reading this book. A few housekeeping notes: writing about a global terrorist conspiracy and the desperate race to stop it means a fair amount of bureaucratic language has wormed its way into the text. That said, in order to make the narrative more accessible to a general reader, Ive tried to eliminate as many acronyms and unfamiliar terms from these pages as possible.
