Pressestimmen
Air Force veteran Alexander ( How to Break a Terrorist , 2008) chronicles how his interrogation task force helped the U.S. Army track down a Syrian terrorist known as Zafar. Believed to be responsible for thousands of deaths, Zafar was the leader of al-Qaeda in northern Iraq. The author, using his interrogative skills and knowledge of the Iraqi culture, was tasked to find him. The search followed an invariable routine: Alexander, his teammate Mike, their two interpreters and a contingent of soldiers would ride in an armed personnel carrier through Kirkuk, where Zafar was known to operate. Arriving at a house, the interrogators would wait while the soldiers secured the premises and inhabitants. Then they would enter and begin asking questions. Usually, the author and Mike would work separately, giving them a chance to test their information. The person they were most interested in might not bend, but a wife, a brother or other family member might. Many of their techniques drew on lessons learned from police work in the United States, using observation and street-smart psychology to get past the surface of the subject's answers. Alexander is especially proud that he and his team never resorted to torture ("I strongly oppose the use of torture or abuse as interrogation methods for both pragmatic and moral reasons"). During the course of his many investigations, readers will get a sense of life on an Army base in hostile territory, a situation that alternates between boredom and frantic action. Readers will also come to respect Alexander and his colleagues, who lived by their wits in a treacherous environment while refusing to bend the rules to gain a momentary edge on their adversaries, and for the Iraqi people, who are doing their best to survive and make a new life after the war.
A gripping story that provides insight into a much-misunderstood but crucial job." --Kirkus Reviews

Kundenrezensionen
I definitely recommend this book to all! You will most likely be exposed to a completely different side of the wars that we are currently fighting and how important interrogators are to the success of our military and country.
The good news is that we can fight jihadists and still be true to American values, and that there are American men and women doing just that, and winning.
has the understanding of the philosophy, customs & values of the people he is dealing with. He recognises that even the most hardened Taliban has deep love for wife & family. He understands thier sense of Honor & uses all of these through a competent, cooperative interpretor to track the path to his prey. It is strong counterpoint to torture of people, several years after capture. Torture provides deep satisfaction to many (even in "high" places), that has nothing to do with obtaining timely, useful inteligence.
