Publisher Description
A revelatory account of the cloak-and-dagger Israeli campaign to target the finances fueling terror organizations--an effort that became the blueprint for U.S. efforts to combat threats like ISIS and drug cartels.
ISIS boasted $2.4 billion of revenue in 2015, yet for too long the global war on terror overlooked financial warfare as an offensive strategy. "Harpoon," the creation of Mossad legend Meir Dagan, directed spies, soldiers, and attorneys to disrupt and destroy money pipelines and financial institutions that paid for the bloodshed perpetrated by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups. Written by an attorney who worked with Harpoon and a bestselling journalist, Harpoon offers a gripping story of the Israeli-led effort, now joined by the Americans, to choke off the terrorists' oxygen supply, money, via unconventional warfare.

"It's a cliché after Watergate that the keyinvestigation in most circumstances is to 'follow the money' (in the words ofDeep Throat). This is the story of how Mossad led this movement andsubstantially effected investigations of terrorism and similarly importantmatters and how this influenced the CIA's later work in the same field. BravoMossad! Thanks for leading the way."
— R. James Woolsey, CIA Director (1993-95)
