    A Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter’s riveting account of the transformation of the CIA and America’s special operations forces into man-hunting and killing machines

    The most momentous change in American warfare over the past decade has taken place away from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. The Way of the Knife is the untold story of that shadow war: a campaign that has blurred the lines between soldiers and spies and lowered the bar for waging war across the globe. America has pursued its enemies with killer drones and special operations troops; trained privateers for assassination missions; and relied on mercurial dictators, untrustworthy foreign intelligence services, and proxy armies.

    This new approach to war has been embraced by Washington as a lower risk, lower cost alternative to the messy wars of occupation. But the knife has created enemies just as it has killed them. It has fomented resentments among allies, fuelled instability, and created new weapons unbound by the normal rules of accountability during wartime.

    At the heart of the book is the story of two rival entities, the CIA and the American military, elbowing for supremacy. The CIA, created as a Cold War espionage service, is now more than ever a paramilitary agency ordered by the White House to kill off America’s enemies. The Pentagon has become more like the CIA, dramatically expanding spying missions everywhere. Sometimes, as with the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, their efforts have been perfectly coordinated. Other times, including the failed operations disclosed here for the first time, they have not. For better or worse, their struggles will define American national security in the years to come.
