A must read.
Mr. Scheuer takes a serious look at
why
U.S. policy to
war
ds our Islamist enemies is failing and makes a compelling argument for a means to reverse this trend. As someone with years of experience in our "global war on
terror
ism," his discussion regarding how to deal with our enemy on the field of battle are the most illuminating I have heard since the war began. He argues that our war strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan are tantamount to Grant and Sherman occupying Richmond and Atlanta while leaving the Confederate armies marching around the Southern countryside. We need to strike out at our enemies and utterly eliminate them before we even think about nation building.

Imperial Hubris
Seems to be a well-researched and accurate account of
why
the Unites States is so despised among the Muslims of the world, and how we got there through the policies and actions of the Bush administrations in recent years, and the mistakes of years prior to that. Scary!

The Bitter Truth
Michael Scheuer lets it all out and tells us that basically "The Emperor Has No Clothes". America needs more from our professioanl politicians, Military Officers and C.Y.A. (not CIA) intelligence agencies than the constant
hubris
, hyperbole and regular B.S. we receive on a daily basis. I appreciate that someone has the intestinal fortitude to tell the truth about America's damaging relationship, in Muslim eyes, with the likes of Saudi Arabia and Israel. We need to get out of the Middle East and let those conflicts burn themselves out while we concentrate on our OWN economy. We need to start a "Manhattan Project" or "Race to the Moon" type of mentality to rid our need of foreign oil. The only reason we are in the Middle East or cared about Kuwait was because of one thing and one thing only..."OIL". Hopefully the next person in the White House will not be another "Village Idiiot from Texas."

Everyone Should Read This Book!
Written by an ex-CIA back office dude who could not beleive the non-sense he witnessed first hand. I voted for Pres. Bush twice. I bought into the "we gotta kill 'em all now!" stuff right from the start, going back to the first WTC attack in 1993. After 9/11, all bets were off. However, over time I noticed something was amiss. This book brings all of what is amiss into sharp focus. A must read for anyone who buys into the "
WAR
ON
TERROR
" - "WE MUST REMAIN ON THE ATTACK". Simply because we are not on the right track, and have not been from the start. A factual book thats hard to put down.

required reading
This book should be required reading for any one that has an opinion is going to form one and be involved with the future of this country.
Hubris
is the only way that the present administration's view of Islam can be described. This is an attitude that forces Islam to see the
west
by default as the enemy.If our "leaders"military and diplomatic could read this book and try to begin to understand some of the thinking of the muslim world, we might just be able to get along with them and remember the fate of all emperors .

When
Imperial
Hubris first
came out in 2004, the greatest danger for Americans confronting the Islamist threat was to believe?at the urging of U.S. leaders?that Muslims attack us for what we are and what we think rather than for what we do. The now-classic showed that a growing segment of the Islamic world strenuously disapproves of specific U.S. policies and their attendant military, political, and economic implications and demonstrated that they will go to any length, not to destroy our secular, democratic way of life, but to deter what they view as specific attacks on their lands, their communities, and their religion. Imperial Hubris remains a must read for an in-depth look at Al Qaeda and the
War
on
Terror
