In this gripping memoir, a former top CIA field officer recounts his experiences running agents in the Middle East, shedding light on the inner workings of terrorism and the political obstacles that hindered the agency's efforts to combat it. Robert Baer offers a stark portrayal of how the CIA's bureaucratic evolution post-Cold War led to a failure in recognizing and addressing the escalating threat of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. The devastating attacks on September 11, 2001, starkly illustrated the consequences of this intelligence failure, leaving many to question how such a coordinated plot went undetected. Having served 21 years in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations before his departure in 1997, Baer witnessed firsthand the agency's decline, as it prioritized political maneuvering over effective field operations. His career involved risking his life to gather intelligence in volatile regions, only to see the CIA drastically reduce its overseas presence and fail to employ operatives familiar with local cultures. Baer reveals alarming insights from his tenure, including the strategic alliance between Osama bin Laden and Iran, the aborted coup against Saddam Hussein, and the CIA's withdrawal from critical operations in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. His narrative serves as a candid critique of an agency that must refocus on its core mission of safeguarding national security and the American way of life.

The book argues that Iran has become a significant player on the global stage, potentially influencing America's future as much as, or even more than, traditional superpowers like Russia and China. It highlights the historical neglect and dismissal of Iran's rising power by the U.S. over the past thirty years, suggesting that this oversight could have profound implications for American destiny.

Strhující kniha Roberta Baera nabízí vzrušující popis fungování teroristických sítí a ojedinělý ppopis kořenů novodobého terorismu spjatého s Blízkým východem. Baer vypráví o místech, do kterých se většina z nás nikdy nepodívá, a o lidech, s nimiž bychom se nejraději nikdy nesetkali. Je to ovšem také nemilosrdná kritika politiky Washingtonu, která podkopávala úsilí CIA čelit hrozbě těchto smrtonosných sítí. Je to obžaloba agentury, která ztratila svůj směr, zapomněla na svoje původní poslání a nezvládla náležitě reagovat na nárůst teroristických organizací typu al-Qa´ida, což mělo mimo jiné za následek i tragické události z 11. září. Robert Baer pracoval pro CIA jako řídící důstojník v letech 1976-97. Působil na mnoha místech - v Íráku, Libanonu, Súdánu, Tádžikistánu, Indii-, a měl tak možnost na vlastní oči sledovat prudký rozvoj terorismu. Je považován za jednoho z nejlepších důstojníků, kterého CIA na Blízkém východě měla. Jeho kniha se stala předlohou k filmu Syriana.
