One failure of 9/11 that has not received the attention it deserves is the inadequacy of the U.S. and international network of financial transparency reporting requirements to detect terrorist finance. In Hide and Seek, John A. Cassara, an expert in the fields of terrorist financing and money laundering, provides personal insight into the workings of the intelligence and law enforcement communities. He contends that the mistakes made by many different agencies before 9/11 were not isolated. Rather, he says these blunders were a result of bureaucratic cultures, misguided policies, and entrenched ways of doing business. Moreover, vulnerabilities still exist. Cassara's unique background allows personal insight into the real workings of the intelligence and law enforcement communities that failed us on September 11, 2001. His memoir provides a true-life perspective on issues, procedures, government cultures, and decisions that are so vitally important today.
Demons of Gadara is a haunting and realistic suspense thriller. Set against a backdrop of the next intertwined Middle East crisis, a U.S. Special Agent assigned overseas happens upon a terrorist plot. Two terrorists are sent to Europe with plans to detonate a “dirty bomb” at an international economic summit that will also be attended by the President of the United States. The Agent simultaneously battles the bureaucracy while racing to intercept the attack. His only clue is to follow an underground “value trail.” The first novel to focus on terrorist finance, Demons of Gadara is written with passion and authenticity. By telling a compelling story, important issues are surfaced that must be confronted in our on-going War on Terror.
