With the planned withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan,
the longest conflicts in our nation's history were supposed to end.
Yet we remain at war against expanding terrorist movements, and our
security forces have had to continually adapt to a nihilistic foe
that operates in the shadows.The result of fifteen years of
reporting, Twilight Warriors is the untold story of the tight-knit
brotherhood that changed the way America fights. James Kitfield
reveals how brilliant innovators in the US military, Special
Forces, and the intelligence and law enforcement communities forged
close operational bonds in the crucibles of Iraq and Afghanistan,
breaking down institutional barriers to create a relentless,
intelligence-driven style of operations. At the forefront of this
profound shift were Stanley McChrystal and his interagency team at
Joint Special Operations Command, the pioneers behind a hybrid
method of warfighting: find, fix, finish, exploit, and analyze.
Other key figures include Michael Flynn, the visionary who
redefined the intelligence gathering mission the FBI's Brian
McCauley, who used serial-killer profilers to track suicide bombers
in Afghanistan and the Delta Force commander Scott Miller,
responsible for making team players out of the US military's most
elite and secretive counterterrorism units. The result of their
collaborations is a globe-spanning network that is elegant in its
simplicity and terrifying in its lethality. As Kitfield argues,
this style of operations represents our best hope for defending the
nation in an age of asymmetric warfare. Twilight Warriors is an
unprecedented account of the American way of war,and the
iconoclasts who have brought it into the twenty-first century.
