For more than a decade, America has been waging a new kind of war against the financial networks of rogue regimes, proliferators, terrorist groups, and criminal syndicates. Juan Zarate, a chief architect of modern financial warfare and a former senior Treasury and White House official, pulls back the curtain on this shadowy world. In this gripping story, he explains in unprecedented detail how a small, dedicated group of officials redefined the Treasury's role and used its unique powers, relationships, and reputation to apply financial pressure against America's enemies.
This group unleashed a new brand of financial power–one that leveraged the private sector and banks directly to isolate rogues from the international financial system. By harnessing the forces of globalization and the centrality of the American market and dollar, Treasury developed a new way of undermining America's foes. Treasury and its tools soon became, and remain, critical in the most vital geopolitical challenges facing the United States, including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and the regimes in Iran, North Korea, and Syria.
This is the unique story of the United States' financial war campaigns and the contours and uses of financial power, and of the warfare to come.

Treasury’s War- The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare by Juan C. Zarate. He is an American attorney and security advisor who served as the deputy national security advisor for combating terrorism during the George W. Bush administration. He is the chairman and co-founder of the Financial Integrity Network, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm, and as senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.This book talks about the effectiveness of economic sanctions that helped and still is a lever to cripple economies who are unstable and against America to function well in the world.While the facts were enlightening, narrative isn’t. If you have seen enough movies, shows around diplomacy, wars which involves USA, this book will seem more like a repeat telecast.So, if you have done the above, you can avoid this one altogether.#review #newpost
