Summary:

If you believe the mainstream media, you would think President Bush had completely bungled the War on Terror, mired us in an unwinnable conflict in Iraq, and made our country less safe than we were before. But the facts tell a dramatically different story. Bestselling author Richard Miniter uncovers in this astounding new book how our military and our intelligence agencies have accomplished an amazing string of victories - tracking down would - be mass murderers, thwarting new diabolical terrorist plots here and abroad, gaining a remarkably detailed understanding of how and where the terror network is organized, and keeping America 100 percent attack-free since September 11, 2001.

Miniter's Shadow War unfolds during the first 911 days of President Bush's War on Terror, from the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., to the March 11, 2004, bomb blasts in Madrid, Spain. It is a story of sleeper cells and patient plots, phone intercepts and covert operations, boldly triumphant captures and breathtakingly close escapes. Along the way, Miniter, author of the New York Times bestseller Losing bin Laden, answers the three vital, unanswered questions of the War on Terror: Where is Osama bin Laden? Why hasn't there been another terrorist strike inside America since September 11, 2001? Is President Bush winning the war?

Miniter files from the front lines in Baghdad, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, Hong Kong, Khartoum, Cairo, Paris, London, Frankfurt, Hamburg, New York, and Washington, D.C. - uncovering the triumphs and tragedies the media establishment refuses to report. The major media has missed many of the biggest developments in the War on Terror. Shadow War brings the facts to life: The unreported story of the War on Terror is that we can win it, and that victories are being won every single day.
