In this book, Netanyahu outlines the major forms that terrorism can take, and the policy decisions that counteract each of them. It is especially useful given that Israel fights battles not unlike the ones America is fighting today. I think the major drawback of this book is the lack of cases (there are only a few, with more emphasis on policies) which would definitely make the read much more entertaining.I do not necessarily agree with Netanyahu's politics, but I found in this book a fresh source of ideas, with no political leanings.
