About this listen

The inside story of the covert operation that took down the heads of ISIS

No Shadows in the Desert reveals the untold story of the behind-the-scenes fight against ISIS - one coordinated by heads of state and ultimately fought in the alleyways and open deserts of the Middle Eastern battlefield by spies and soldiers. Samuel M. Katz draws upon his sources within the global intelligence and counterterrorism community, as well as the international special operations and espionage fraternity, to tell the story of the covert campaign against ISIS by the operatives who ventured deeply and secretly into enemy territory.

In this first-ever look at the secret inner workings of an Arab secret service, Katz tells the story of Jordan’s GID, the masters of human intelligence on the espionage battlefields of the Middle East, who proved pivotal and crucial go-to allies of the CIA and America’s other intelligence agencies in the war against ISIS and the war on terror. With the revealing and intimate insight of the intelligence officers who fought ISIS, No Shadows in the Desert is a rare glimpse into how a strategic partnership helped change how terrorism is fought in the Middle East and beyond.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Pronounciation of some words very off. KAY la FATE? Repetitive points in text seemed like filler. How many times to hear about coffee, tea and Arab sweets.

Bit of a long puff piece.

Few understand the Levant and it’s people. This story of combined efforts between key states show how an interim solution is achieved. When will the carnage erupt again?

Excellent Book. I am extremely grateful to the author for detail information provided on the war on ISIS. In particular, the author highlighted the efforts and leadership provided by Jordan’s Intelligence Services, and sacrifices made by many other agencies to win the war. The news clips and reports on the war on ISIS does not even come close, understandably so, to identifying the true heroes of the victory over ISIS. This book does. I highly recommend reading it.

Thank You Mr. Katz
