{"product_id":"somalia-joint-forces-staff-college-9781500500894","title":"Somalia: Hidden Threat to Our Homeland","description":"In Somalia in 1993, famine and civil war riddled the country resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths leading to a major United Nations (U.N.) peacekeeping mission and U.S. led military operations. Following the U.S. led Battle of Mogadishu, which resulted in a strategic disaster and U.S. withdrawal that scarred public opinion, Somalia became a politically sensitive and emotive issue impacting U.S. policy. This work will identify the clear and present danger that Somalia's terrorist and violent extremist networks (VEN) pose to our country and if U.S. policy remains unchanged will lead to attacks within our borders emanating from Somalia. U.S. policy shortfalls in our National Security Strategy and military oversight by U.S. Africa Command in the U.S. defense strategies fail to address this threat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joint Forces Staff College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1500500895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781500500894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.15d","brand":"Joint Forces Staff College","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064943472895,"sku":"9781500500894","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf73c117-5602-47c9-b21a-c998b7f7d1b4.jpg?v=1685398504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/somalia-joint-forces-staff-college-9781500500894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
