High Value Target: Countering Al Qaeda in Yemen

摘要

This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking work about the US's successful campaign to attrite Al-Qa'ida in Yemen, and deny it sanctuary there during the period 2001-04. It is written not by an academic nor by a security practitioner, but by a diplomat at the nexus of multiple lines of operation, and thus able to give a nuanced overview of them all without becoming lost in the detail.
