About
Michael Ledeen's 2002 book, published shortly after 9/11, analyzing the rise of the international terror network led by states like Iran, Syria, and others, U.S. intelligence failures in countering them, and strategies for victory through regime change and promotion of democratic revolutions in the Middle East. It critiques past U.S. policies and calls for aggressive action against 'terror masters,' while containing his most cited ideological statements, including 'creative destruction is our middle name.' The book is significant in neoconservative discourse for influencing post-9/11 foreign policy debates.

Published in 2002, this book contained Ledeen's most influential and controversial statements: 'Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day... They must attack us in order to survive, just as we must destroy them to advance our historic mission.' He called for regime change in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia: 'If we wage the war effectively, we will bring down the terror regimes in Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and either bring down the Saudi monarchy or force it to abandon its global assembly line to indoctrinate young terrorists.'
