North details the earliest terrorism faced by the United States in the 1800s at the hands of the Barbary Pirates, the major terrorist group developments of the 1970s and 80s, and, most vividly, the post-9/11 Iraq War era. His up-close field notes highlight the core values of today's American soldier in relation to the fight at hand.
