Dit boek is de weerslag van ruim twintig jaar intensieve betrokkenheid bij de Arabische wereld. Helder en scherpzinnig, maar ook gedreven in zijn liefde voor de eeuwenoude cultuur van de bedoeïenen, is Kurpershoek ook internationaal gezien een van de interessantste maar vooral ook lezenswaardigste schrijvers over de Arabische wereld.

The author begins with a historical sketch of the role of ground forces in the American way of war throughout US history. He surveys the world's key strategic regions for their importance to American national security and their vulnerability to large-scale violence. He then considers a number of illustrative scenarios in which large American conventional forces may be relevant. Where are large-scale conflicts or other catastrophes most likely to happen ? Which of these could be important enough to demand a US military response ? And which, in turn, might require significant numbers of American ground forces ? And finally, what do these considerations say about the proper size, structure, and capabilities of the future US Marine Corps and Army ?

For General Michael Hayden, playing to the edge means playing so close to the line that you get chalk dust on your cleats. Otherwise, by playing back, you may protect yourself, but you will be less successful in protecting America. 'Play to the edge' was Hayden's guiding principle when he ran the National Security Agency, and it remained so when he ran CIA. How did American intelligence respond to terrorism, a major war and the most sweeping technological revolution in the last 500 years ? What was NSA before 9/11 and how did it change in its aftermath ? Why did NSA begin the controversial terrorist surveillance program that included the acquisition of domestic phone records ? What else was set in motion during this period that formed the backdrop for the infamous Snowden revelations in 2013 ? As Director of the CIA in the last three years of the Bush administration, Hayden had to deal with the rendition, detention, and interrogation program as bequeathed to him by his predecessors. He also had to ramp up the agency to support its role in the targeted killing program that began to dramatically increase in July 2008. Hayden freely acknowledges that the CIA helped turn the American security establishment into the most effective killing machine in the history of armed conflict. General Hayden's goals are in writing this book are simple and unwavering : No apologies. No excuses. Just what happened. And why.
