Publisher's summary

The Unit. The US president withdraws the military from the endless Mideastern wars, tasking the CIA with deterring terrorist attacks on Israel, the United States, and the coalition. The CIA deploys a Terrorist Intervention Unit as a multiagency deterrent to contain terrorism and aggression by the Islamic activists filling the vacuum created by the US military withdrawal. With "do whatever it takes" and "with plausible deniability "as its rules of engagement, the Unit pushes the edges of the envelope to survive and to meet its objective. Former Army Captain Bradley, now a rising star in the CIA's Military Affairs Division, is chosen to head a multiagency Terrorist Intervention Unit in Afghanistan as the US withdraws all military troops. His orders are "do what you have to do" and with "plausible deniability. Already on the Taliban's hit list from an earlier posting in the region while in the Army, Captain Bradley resorts to PSYOPS and 6th generation warfare to protect the Unit. Staffed with specialists picked from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, DOD engineers from Area 51, and a Special Agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Unit acts as a deterrent against terrorism as the Taliban and other Islamic activists fill the vacuum left by the troop withdrawal. Few know the Unit's mission is a one-of-a-kind attempt to ward off all-out war in the Middle East.
