The presidency of Barack Obama is historic in several respects, including the two wars that he inherited from George W. Bush, as well as the additional civil wars and crises that he faced in fostering his global counterterrorism policy.
For their part, Republicans in both houses of Congress remained firm in their opposition to supporting Obama’s initiatives and proposals in addressing principal threats to our national security interests as it relates to counterterrorism policy, specifically in the Middle East and Asia. Now that Obama’s tenure as President and Commander-in-Chief of the USA has ended, there is developing considerable interest from the media, academic scholars, and the public on evaluating his eight years in the White House. It is important to note that a full and complete assess- ment of a president’s tenure as Commander-in-Chief as well as Chief Executive requires several years from the conclusion of his administration to fairly determine his legacy with respect to his policies from 2009 to 2016.
This book is a start in that process, which it is hoped will serve as a valuable resource and will provide its readers with useful information as they enter the debate on the Obama presidency as it relates to counterterrorism policy. The intention of this author has been to produce a scholarly and readable study that is engaging to students of history, political science, and the law as well as the general reader, who, I trust, even if a bit overwhelmed by my attention to detail, may still profit from the work’s larger points and message.
