Reviews" The Field of Fight is a book worth reading by anyone concerned about the future security of America. It is both an engaging personal memoir by a great American soldier and military intelligence officer, General Mike Flynn, and a strategic plan by General Flynn of how to win the global war against radical Islam and its big power supporters. The leaders of the next American administration would benefit from reading The Field of Fight ." --Senator Joseph Lieberman, "General Flynn's The Field of Fight is as good an introduction to the long war we are in as any I have read. It is also a sobering and indeed frightening indictment of the intellectual dishonesty which has blocked our leaders from winning this war." --Newt Gingrich " The Field of Fight is a book worth reading by anyone concerned about the future security of America.

SynopsisThe Instant New York Times Bestseller. A war is being waged against us by radical Islamists, and, as current events demonstrate, they are only getting stronger. Al-Qaeda has morphed into a much more dangerous, menacing threat: ISIS. Lt. General Michael T. Flynn is blunt and urgent. This book aims to inform the American people of the grave danger we face in the war on terror'and will continue to face'until our government takes decisive action against the terrorists that want nothing more than to destroy us and our way of life. Flynn spent more than thirty three years in Army intelligence, and as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency worked closely with Generals Stanley McChrystal and David Petraeus, Admiral Mike Mullen, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and other policy, defense, intelligence, and war-fighting leaders. From coordinating on-the-ground operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, to building reliable intelligence networks, to preparing strategic plans for fighting terrorism, Flynn has been a firsthand witness to government screw-ups, smokescreens, and censored information that our leaders don't want us to know. The Field of Fight succinctly lays out why we have failed to stop terrorist groups from growing, and what we must do to stop them. The core message is that if you understand your enemies, it's a lot easier to defeat them'but because our government has concealed the actions of terrorists like Osama bin Laden and groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, and the role of Iran in the rise of radical Islam, we don't fully understand the enormity of the threat they pose against us. A call to action that is sensible, informed, and original, The Field of Fight asserts that we must find a way to not only fight better, but to win., The Instant New York Times Bestseller.

  • Field of Fight

    This book separates the wheat from the political chaff. He explains what is and has been going on in the Mideast and gives his expertise in what we should be doing. As former Director of National Intelligence, he knows what has happened and what should happen in the future. He gives insight into who are the good Generals and who are not. Very frank and credible. Hope he ends up in a future Presidential cabinet. Easy read, but very compelling for those interested in the Middle East conflict.

  • Field of Fight by Michael T Flynn

    Excellent read. Very sobering, inside look at what has been going WRONG in our government. What a great source. General Flynn climbed the ranks, proved himself as a military strategist. He studied Islam up close from the field... not only from the lofty towers of academics or social theorists. As a warrior, he has a specific lens, and has issued a warning that needs to be thoughtfully considered. And heeded.
