Dubbed by Barron's as "The Shadow CIA," Stratfor is one of the world's most respected private global intelligence firms with an unmatched ability to provide clear perspective on the current geopolitical map. Here, drawing on Stratfor's vast information-gathering network, George Friedman delivers the geopolitical story that the mainstream media has been unable to uncover: the startling truth behind America's foreign policy and war effort in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond.

In America's Secret War, Friedman identifies the United States' most dangerous enemies, delves into presidential strategies of the last quarter century, and reveals the real reasons behind the attack of September 11 and the Bush administration's motivation for the war in Iraq. Here, in eye-opening detail, is an insightful picture of today's world that goes far beyond what is reported in the news media.

      As founder and chairman of Stratfor Forecasting ("predictive, insightful global intelligence," its Web site states), Friedman is in the business of gathering information and predicting outcomes of global conflicts for businesses and governments. Following up on The Future of War, he assesses the causes, players and parameters of what he calls "the fourth global war"--September 11th and its aftermath--from the perspective of the company. Much of what's here will be familiar to readers of the 9/11 report or the reams of news coverage over the last three years. Yet Friedman's stock-taking exercise is compelling as a distillation of corporate intelligence, where the spin is less about maintaining the image of particular politicians or governments, and more about being right so that money can be made.
