An immediate difficulty for the president will be the global conflict between the West and Islamic jihadists and state sponsors of terrorism. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the recommendations of the 9\/11 Commission notwithstanding, the administration needs to be armed and ready to tackle much more in the areas of intelligence and counterterrorism. The president can and must assume a hands-on, informed leadership role if the United States wants to make progress in the war on terror.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGary Berntsen has written this book as a guide for an incoming president and White House staff so that they may master current human intelligence and counterterrorism operations. After reading its highly specific recommendations and policy prescriptions, the president and his or her staff will be able to draft a First Directive for the leadership of the intelligence and national security communities outlining how the administration wants those communities to proceed and to defend the nation's interests.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHuman Intelligence, Counterterrorism, and National Leadership\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to legislators, policymakers, and anyone concerned about intelligence and terrorism policy.
