In February 1989, the CIA's chief in Islamabad famously cabled headquarters a simple message: "We Won." It was an understated coda to the most successful covert intelligence operation in American history. In What We Won, CIA and National Security Council veteran Bruce Riedel tells the story of America's secret war in Afghanistan and the defeat of the Soviet 40th Red Army in the war that proved to be the final battle of the cold war. He seeks to answer one simple question—why did this intelligence operation succeed so brilliantly? Riedel has the vantage point few others can offer: He was ensconced in the CIA's Operations Center when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan on Christmas Eve 1979. The invasion took the intelligence community by surprise. But the response, initiated by Jimmy Carter and accelerated by Ronald Reagan, was a masterful intelligence enterprise. Many books have been written about intelligence failures—from Pearl Harbor to 9/11. Much less has been written about how and why intelligence operations succeed. The answer is complex. It involves both the weaknesses and mistakes of America's enemies, as well as good judgment and strengths of the United States. Riedel introduces and explores the complex personalities pitted in the war—the Afghan communists, the Russians, the Afghan mujahedin, the Saudis, and the Pakistanis. And then there are the Americans—in this war, no Americans fought on the battlefield. The CIA did not send officers into Afghanistan to fight or even to train. In 1989, victory for the American side of the cold war seemed complete. Now we can see that a new era was also beginning in the Afghan war in the 1980s, the era of the global jihad. This book examines the lessons we can learn from this intelligence operation for the future and makes some observations on what came next in Afghanistan—and what is likely yet to come.

The War We Won By: L W Swartz At the age of twenty, L W Swartz enlisted in the United States Army. He was motivated by a desire to become a pilot and to serve and protect his country. Little did he know that he would be thrust into the middle of the Viet Nam War, a conflict condemned by the public and neglected by politicians. After saying goodbye to his family, unsure if he would ever see them again, L W set out for training and his eventual deployment. His experiences in the war are described in raw detail: from the few moments of humor and companionship to the all too frequent moments of sorrow that come from losing a fellow soldier. The War We Won sheds light on what the Viet Nam War was really like for the young men who fought in it and gave their lives for it.

FBI Special Agent Chad Winters is killed as he crossed the street by a driver in a stolen two-and-a-half-ton truck. Was it an al-Qaeda or ISIS agent that finally killed Chad or was it really an accident as reported by the D.C. police? His longtime FBI partner Reynolds and new FBI hire Padilla were cleaning out Chad’s apartment when they found documents of large investments in pharmaceutical companies by Washington D.C.'s prominent people and also documents of a viral attack. Was this information mailed to Chad that led to his murder? Then a mysterious call about a murder of an investment clerk in New York City shortly after the investment documents were mailed to Chad proved that the information was related to his murder. Identifying the investment clerk’s and Chad’s killers as the same individuals led Reynolds and FBI rookie Padilla to a beautiful Russian Research Assistant in a major US university. She had been placed there by a Russian oligarch to develop and release a virus in the United States. The Research Assistant turned witness but was quickly kidnapped by Russian Agents from an FBI safehouse in D.C. She was rescued by Reynolds and Padilla only to be kidnapped again by the same Russian agents while Reynolds and Padilla were out of country now capturing Chad’s killers in Canada. Will they rescue her a second time? Read the conclusion of “We Won’t Let It Happen” to find out the end of this exciting story.

Only one thing stands between you and victory: faith and relationship with God in Jesus Christ. What is the world coming to? The economy is hurting, layoffs are prevalent, and society is anxious. Natural disasters continue to multiply. The home is crumbling. War is killing its thousands. Terrorism is terrifying! Satan is filling religion with dogmatism and pessimism. Sickness and death are marching forward with intensity. Depression is stealing the joy of many people. Wouldnt it be great to walk out by claiming the victory that is in Christ? God is worthy of our praise. In the Bible believers lived shouting, Hallelujah, while celebrating Gods deliverance over Satan and ultimately over sin at the coming of Christ. Praise (glory, honor, commendation, and joy) is ascribed to God in respect of His glory exhibited in the character and victory operations of Christ. The Revelation celebrates victory in all ages while looking to a prevailing life with Christ in the present age and in heaven. Praise God, We Won magnifies the story of praise and victory in reality to every believer in Christ. We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us!
