Publisher's summary

The inside story of the covert operation that took down the heads of ISIS

No Shadows in the Desert reveals the untold story of the behind-the-scenes fight against ISIS - one coordinated by heads of state and ultimately fought in the alleyways and open deserts of the Middle Eastern battlefield by spies and soldiers. Samuel M. Katz draws upon his sources within the global intelligence and counterterrorism community, as well as the international special operations and espionage fraternity, to tell the story of the covert campaign against ISIS by the operatives who ventured deeply and secretly into enemy territory.

In this first-ever look at the secret inner workings of an Arab secret service, Katz tells the story of Jordan’s GID, the masters of human intelligence on the espionage battlefields of the Middle East, who proved pivotal and crucial go-to allies of the CIA and America’s other intelligence agencies in the war against ISIS and the war on terror. With the revealing and intimate insight of the intelligence officers who fought ISIS, No Shadows in the Desert is a rare glimpse into how a strategic partnership helped change how terrorism is fought in the Middle East and beyond.

Katz Exceeds Expectations

Great read and insight in to the Jordanian GID and good reminder that good always triumphs over evil.

Great historical information

The narrator was tremendous. I enjoyed how the author analyzed the various intelligent organizations involved in the global hunt for terrorists. It did not take me too long to finish the book,

Samuel Katz has written a master of a work.

Amazing!

Great read!

Everyone should give this a listen, so much more to the story than just what you hear in the news.

Thank You Mr. Katz

Excellent Book. I am extremely grateful to the author for detail information provided on the war on ISIS. In particular, the author highlighted the efforts and leadership provided by Jordan’s Intelligence Services, and sacrifices made by many other agencies to win the war. The news clips and reports on the war on ISIS does not even come close, understandably so, to identifying the true heroes of the victory over ISIS. This book does. I highly recommend reading it.

needs deepest review

tells a story but not the story given names in this book leading later in jobs to undermining of POTUS, have many of this author's books can understand his presentation in way he did, does need the whole story an hidden political figures not mention otherwise makes the format for further revision.

Excellent book!

This book is great informative, interesting and worth reading or listening to. I recommend it highly!

Inspired by actual events…

Not the most accurate history ever written, and the narrator’s mangled pronunciations don’t help. Would not buy again.

I might try to finish it..

the book is written descriptively, but without believability. telling us what the air smelled like, not having been there, just stilted and takes away from the whole point of the story. to be fair, mr Katz did say at the beginning of the book that many facts were just "the author's opinion", but... this example of taking liberties is just one of many I suffered through today. sorry guys, hard pass.

Simply Anti- Trump writer

Author has a good story line but cannot keep his political views out of the story. Very biased makes the reader concerned with the fact checking of the author. I believe there is a great story to tell here but it needs to be told by another author with the ability to stick to facts not his own political views.
