DESCRIPTION:Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is the most significant terrorist in captivity.  On 
 March 1, 2003, American and Pakistani intelligence agents captured KSM, 
 ending one of the greatest manhunts in history.  \n\nDrawing on 
 unprecedented access to key sources, many of whom have never spoken 
 publicly—as well as jihadis and members of KSM’s family and support 
 network—Terry McDermott and Josh Meyer give the first comprehensive 
 account of the search for KSM and what happened after he was captured, 
 including how his torture prompted false confessions that sent U.S. agents 
 on a wild goose chase across four continents.  \n\n"On one level, McDermott 
 and Meyer have given us a fact-filled inside account, in the voices of 
 those on the job, of the failed decade-long American effort to find KSM 
 before he could strike again. But there is a most important underlying 
 message in this book—that the American intelligence community remains 
 caught up in bureaucratic warfare and remains today incapable of working 
 together...of sharing insights and information...even when all involved 
 share the same goal. This, ultimately, is an account of an American 
 tragedy."\n-- Seymour M. Hersh, writer for The New Yorker\n\n\nTHE HUNT FOR 
 KSM is a tour de force of investigative journalism as well as a gripping 
 tale of international intrigue. It provides a window into the deep 
 dysfunction that plagued—and continues to plague—the intelligence 
 community in the years since 9/11.\n\n"Terry McDermott and Josh Meyer have 
 written a completely authoritative account … a deeply reported 
 page-turner about the race to find the man who was the Chief Operating 
 Officer of Al-Qaeda." -- Peter Bergen, author of The Longest War: The 
 Enduring Conflict between America and Al-Qaeda\n\n\nTerry McDermott’s 
 work has appeared in The New Yorker, the Wilson Quarterly, the Columbia 
 Journalism Review, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, and Pacific Magazine, ad 
 he is the author of Perfect Soldiers and 101 Theory Drive. McDermott has 
 worked at eight newspapers for more than thirty years, most recently for 
 ten years at the Los Angeles Times, where he was a national correspondent.
