The Generation Jihad podcast describes itself<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The war against Islamic Jihadism is defining generations. It was our father\u2019s war, it\u2019s our war, and will most likely be our children\u2019s war. The FDD’ s Long War Journal team has been researching and reporting for over two decades on the jihadists fueling this terror. \u201cGeneration Jihad\u201d features LWJ Editors Bill Roggio and Thomas Joscelyn as they diagnose the black and white motivations behind the world\u2019s most notorious terrorists, report on their expanding malign activities, and offer their prescriptions for confronting the multi-generational menace that is Islamic Jihadism.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is a quick description of the podcast<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Former CIA Officer Sarah Carlson joins the podcast to discuss her new book, In The Dark of War. Sarah discusses her career as a counterterrorism analyst, the jihadist scene in Libya and the U.S. evacuation from Tripoli in 2014.<\/em><\/p>\n

And the link to her book, The Dark of War<\/a><\/em>, which is described on Amazon as:<\/p>\n

A CIA officer\u2019s inside account of how Libya\u2019s descent into rampant violence precipitated the harrowing overland evacuation of the entire U.S. Mission from Tripoli after being trapped in the city for weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most of the world is aware of the tragic events surrounding the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. Most are also aware of the resulting political controversy in Washington. But few know what happened next in Libya. While said controversy in Washington subsided, the volatility in Libya escalated\u2014threatening the brave men and women who remained behind to continue the U.S. mission.<\/em><\/p>\n

In this dramatic retelling of dangerous attacks threatening the U.S. mission Tripoli, Libya\u2014less than two years after Benghazi\u2014American valor and courage prevailed. The U.S. personnel and intrepid operators stood fast as militias clashed, suicide bomb attacked, and numerous threats and kidnappings closed in on their location. In the midst of it all, the intelligence and determination of one woman with unwavering faith played a pivotal role in saving them all\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
