Overview

In the 1990s, the FBI consistently reported that Russia and Russian organized crime posed the most significant threat to US national security. Then came the fateful events of 9/11, and the intelligence community switched its attention to international terrorism stemming from the Middle East. This may well prove a fatal mistake. Did Russian interests cease to be a threat when the Twin Towers fell? Law enforcement and security expert Lance Alred argues not. Instead, he makes the compelling case that the Cold War never truly ended and that the root cause and motivation of global terrorism lies within long-held goals of communist Russia. Such goals would drain the United States of its natural, economic, and human resources. Once seen through the lens of Alred's reasoning, global terrorism becomes only one of an interconnected series of diverse threats facing the United States-threats so well hidden and disguised they are unrecognized by the average American. Slowly but surely, Russian interests are undermining our national interests, manipulating and reshaping American attitudes, religion, and culture to Russia's own ends. Global Revolutionary Terrorism is a call to action, providing an overarching, comprehensive view of the nature of global terrorism, its historical roots, and its place in a larger, more insidious ideological struggle.
