The Next Wave: On the Hunt for Al Qaeda's American Recruits


Overview

TERROR WALKS AMONG US. Born here, raised here, plotting here, the terrorists of al Qaeda 2.0 aim to kill Americans. And our government helps. Who are the recruits for the next wave? They live next door. A radicalized army major guns down forty-five, killing twelve soldiers and one civilian; an airport shuttle-bus driver plots a subway slaughter; a legal immigrant tries to blow up Times Square while another fanatic hopes to kill hundreds at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony . . . and a radical Muslim born in New Mexico has a legion of fanatics in his web. ""The Next Wave"" reveals the shocking story of how that blood-crazed American, Anwar al-Awlaki--now hiding in Yemen--was treated to Pentagon pomp as a ""moderate Muslim,"" and how our Justice Department hid his movements from the 9/11 Commission . . . even though al-Awlaki aided the 9/11 hijackers. The terrorists next door turn our tech against us, exploiting Facebook, Skype, and our outdated laws. Online terror recruiters are one of the Web's greatest success stories--yet our government refuses to stop them. Activists howl about ""inhuman"" conditions at Guantanamo--while pampered inmates laugh at our weaknesses. The next wave of deadly terror is here and now. Washington shuts its eyes. And the next massacre in the name of Islam will be ""Made in the U.S.A.""

Reviews

"""An absolutely compelling case that we haven't seen the end of terrorism in this country. In a gripping narrative, Herridge tells how it was only by sheer luck we sidestepped al Qaeda's ""second wave"" - and we'll need all the more of it not to be hit by the next."" - Bob Baer, New York Times bestselling author of ""See No Evil"" and ""Sleeping with the Devil"" ""The only thing more disturbing than al Qaeda's efforts to recruit U.S. citizens to harm America is its success at doing so. Expertly investigated, ""The Next Wave"" delivers a powerfully written, fresh look at homegrown terrorism in its most insidious form - and gives every reason to believe that the question is not whether an attack will occur, but when."" - The Honorable Tom Ridge ""Catherine Herridge has written a book that, from start to finish, grabs the reader. It is a fabulous look into her complex world that contains detailed observations and shocking revelations. Woven into the back story is the harsh reality of U.S. government incompetence, cover-up and deception - all focused on self-serving bureaucratic ass-covering that continues to endanger the well being of the American people. She is able to provide a dire forecast - a storm warning if you will - of the next generation of Muslim extremism and how they are evolving and adapting to the 21st century. Her work should be read - and internalized - by anyone who wants to learn how we must improve U.S. national security, counterterrorism and intelligence collection. Herridge's investigation of al Qaeda 2.0 reads like a novel. Herridge comes from a military family -- so her reporting on national security issues is deeply personal.
