This book offers a comprehensive, inside‑look at the foreign‑policy decisions of the Barack Obama Administration, detailing how the U.S. combined covert operations, drone warfare, special‑forces deployments, and cyber‑weapons to address global threats. The author narrates landmark events and secret strategies — from the bin Laden raid and Afghanistan withdrawal, to cyber‑attacks against Iran’s nuclear program, drone operations in Pakistan, and responses to the Arab Spring — arguing that Obama’s presidency marked a new paradigm in American power projection, based more on subtle, covert influence than traditional large‑scale military intervention
