Great Collection of Articles

There are eleven good articles in this little book, some of which are reprints and others of which are original. The first, by Gunaratna, is perhaps his best writing on the post-9/11 Al Qaeda threat. Cronin's article follows on terrorism as anti-globalization. Third up is an article on financial counterterrorism tactics which bridge military and civilian resources. Fourth is a similarly interesting piece about using private contractors to fight substate foes. Fifth is a network theory piece about how to disrupt terrorist networks. Sixth is a WMD counterproliferation piece. Seventh is a reprint of Hoffman's 2003 update on his logic of suicidal terrorism. Eighth is a short number about how China handled the SARS epidemic. Nineth is the author's own contribution on preemptive strategy. Tenth is a reprint of Jenkins' thoughts on countering Al Qaeda. Eleventh is Gen. Downing's attempt to wrap things up in terms of the four D's of GWOT strategy: defend; defeat; deny; and diminish. Although in some parts this little book will have to be supplemented, there is no other more concise introduction for the beginner to GWOT strategy and tactics.
