Terrorist Trail: Backtracking the Foreign Fighter

by H. John Poole, Ray L. Smith (foreword), Mike Leahy (illustrator)

Terrorist Trail, isbn 0963869590, is the latest of seven U.S. tactics manual supplements from Posterity Press. Covering events as recent as 26 August 2006, it contains valuable information about the enemy's so-far-successful formula. While delving into the backgrounds of jihadists entering Iraq, it stumbles upon too many Chinese and too much fundamentalist Sunni/Shiite cooperation in Africa. While al-Qaeda has been shipping fighters from Somalia to Afghanistan, Chechnya, and Kenya/Tanzania, Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah has been sending combatants to the Middle East via Sudan. This book shows how to slow this flow of jihadists into Baghdad. It also shows how to "mantrack" the ones already there.
