“[A] gripping account of a complex and ultimately successful counterterrorism investigation.”-Lawrence D. Freedman, Foreign Affairs
"Some of the measures put in place since 9/11, as inconvenient as they may be, have undoubtedly saved lives. We might still debate their usefulness and legality, but we should do so with a full understanding of their results. Disruption is a valuable contribution to that understanding."-Samuel Sweeney, Wall Street Journal
"An outstanding contribution to the literature of terrorism and counterterrorism. "-Kirkus Reviews, starred
"Readers will gain new appreciation for what it takes to stop the next terrorist attack."-Publishers Weekly
"In the summer of 2006, the British security services, with the assistance of the CIA, foiled what would have been the most devastating terrorist attack since 9/11: an al-Qaida plot to detonate bombs on seven transatlantic commercial flights, which would have resulted in over 3,000 deaths. Disruption is Peritz's meticulous, fascinating history of this plot, from the radicalization of the perpetrators to their sentencing in a British courtroom."-Christian Science Monitor
“A fascinating read. There are secrets in this book even I didn’t know.”-Gen. Michael V. Hayden, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency
“This operation remains the gold standard for how America and Great Britain came together to crush the greatest conspiracy since 9/11. Disruption knocks it out of the park.”-Fran Townsend, assistant to the president for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
“Disruption is a deeply researched and reported examination of a plot by largely Britain-based al Qa’ida supporters who hoped to put suicide bombers on at least a half dozen tarns-Atlantic flights in 2006. . . . The best part of the story is the extraordinary detail [Peritz] provides on what the U.K. dubbed ‘Operation Overt.’ . . . Disruption is full of hard to believe (but true) stories.”-Bill Harlow, The Cipher Brief
"Disruption is an engrossing page-turner."-David Luhrssen, Shepherd Express
