Michael Morell, the recently retired Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, is one of the country's most prominent national security professionals with extensive experience in intelligence and foreign policy.

"A remarkable narrative about the greatest national security threat
America has faced since the Cold War and how the country's premier
intelligence agency dealt with it. In THE GREAT WAR OF OUR TIME
Michael Morell provides an astute look at key battles won and lost
in the fight against al Qa'ida, and he offers invaluable insights
for both intelligence and policy into battles yet to come. Anyone
who wants to know how the CIA dealt with the al Qa'ida menace and
how the country should address it going forward should read this
book."--Robert Gates, former secretary of defense and CIA
director
"Intelligence professionals are an unsung but absolutely critical
part of our country's national security, and Michael Morell, who
served 33 years at CIA, was one of the best intelligence officers
our nation has ever had. His service at the senior ranks of CIA
coincided with the Agency's fight against al Qa'ida, and in the THE
GREAT WAR OF OUR TIME he recounts this history with honesty,
insight, and poignancy. This is a very readable book in which you
will learn a lot of things you didn't know before-including what
it's like to work as an intelligence professional."--Joseph
Lieberman, former US Senator
"Michael Morell has written a compelling narrative about the fight
against al Qa'ida and the terror it inspires and exports globally.
He provides rare and thoughtful insight into the mystifying world
of intelligence, to include the remarkable and patriotic Americans
who serve there. Michael is the 'best of the best' and portrays the
CIA at a sustained level of excellence during remarkably tough
times."--Mike Mullen, ADM, USN (ret.), former chairman, US Joint
Chiefs of Staff
"Must-read for anyone thinking seriously about terrorism. An
authoritative, insightful insider's account of the CIA's leadership
in the War on Terror. Courageously ducks none of the thorny issues,
from torture and Snowden to Usama bin Ladin."--Graham Allison,
former dean, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and
author of Essence of Decision
