Product Description:
“An alarming but necessary book that reads like a thriller. By raising uncomfortable questions, Ken Timmerman has performed a significant public service.”
–Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk radio host
Some have called it the CIA’s greatest covert operation of all time.
It is an intelligence war conducted behind the scenes, aimed at confusing, misleading, and ultimately defeating the enemy. The goal is nothing less than toppling the regime in power. A network of agents has been planted at key crossroads of power, stealing secrets, planting disinformation, and cooking intelligence. The plan involves sophisticated political sabotage operations that bring in opposition forces who can challenge the regime openly, in a way the CIA cannot. The scope is breathtaking.
Who is the target of this vast, sophisticated CIA operation? Not the mullahs in Tehran or North Korea’s power-mad Kim Jong Il; the target is America’s president, George W. Bush.
Drawing on exclusive information from senior government officials, intelligence operatives, and many others, investigative reporter Kenneth Timmerman provides the full, untold story of the sabotage that occurs behind the scenes at key government agencies like the CIA and State Department–and the profound effect it has on America’s ability to confront its most dangerous enemies. In Shadow Warriors, Timmerman brings to light the vast underground working to undercut our nation’s efforts to win the war on terror–revealing the when, where, how, and who for the first time. He also exposes the Democratic politicians who have sold out America’s national security for political gain.
In Shadow Warriors you’ll learn:
•How the CIA and State Department sabotaged the administration’s Iraq war plans from the start–sparking the insurgency in the process
•How a high-level State Department official gathered aides after Bush’s reelection to insist they owed no allegiance to the president or his policies
•How pre-war intelligence on Iraq was cooked–not by the Bush administration, but by its opponents
•How and why the shadow warriors have leaked details of virtually every covert U.S. intelligence tool used in the war on terror
•How the leaks have devastated our efforts to fight terrorism–such as when a key U.S. ally rebuffed the CIA director’s request for assistance by saying, “You Americans can’t keep secrets”
•Why U.S. intelligence refused to examine important documents detailing the secret Iraqi networks that became the heart of the insurgency
•How newly discovered Iraqi government documents reveal the extent of Saddam Hussein’s ties to international terrorists and the truth about his WMD arsenal
Shadow Warriors shows that George W. Bush never got the first rule of Washington: People are policy. He allowed his political enemies to run roughshod over his administration. This insider’s look at secret White House meetings, political backstabbing, and war-room summits is an eye-opening account of the mind-set that is crippling our effectiveness in Iraq and around the world.

Rating:  - great insight to what we don't know
there is a scary battle from which we are hidden. if only a fraction of this book is true, I am scared and worried about this country.
Rating:  - Ever-Dangerous World
While taking into consideration that most people who write tell-all books have a particular point of view, I found this book very interesting. As these events are recent and I follow the news fairly closely, I was able to compare the information presented here to my own memory. This book demonstrates what I already knew, that not all those in government service have in mind what is best for our country, but that which serves their own particular agenda. Thanks to these, we have had a tough go ... Read More
Rating: - Not for those suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome
Shadow Warriors is biased. How could it not be? The author, who is known for his scrutiny and meticulous research is biased towards those that would, and did, advance their political agenda ahead of the good of their country. Further, it is clear that in some extreme cases of borderline treason that Timmerman clearly and definitively chronicles, lives of our soldiers may have been lost due to the actions of the Shadow Warriors. This cabal of fervent anti-Bush operatives are every bit as dangerous ... Read More
Rating: - Shadow Warriors: The Untold Story of Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender
This book is so informative and tells the real truth of how far the Democratic Party will go to lie and cheat and how corrupt the CIA is. Also, this tells the real truth of what and why it was important to stop Saddam and what a moral man Pres. Bush really is. He really wants to do the best for all of us in America and keep us safe.
Rating: - Shadow Warriors: A House divided
Ken Timmerman's book is not an easy book to read. As I read it I had to stop and process the fact that liberals lied, people died, and that it is a wonder America's response to 911 ever got off the ground. The opposition of the Democratic Congress is well known and documented. What is not common knowledge is that there are people of significant influence in the State department and CIA who are in direct opposition to carrying out the wishes of our commander-in-chief, President Bush. Timmerman calls ... Read More
