Treasury's War

In 'Treasury's War,' Juan Zarate recounts the U.S.

government's efforts to wield its financial and economic power to achieve strategic interests and alter the balance of various conflicts.

The book covers a decade of financial warfare, including the 'war on terror,' the U.S.

invasion of Iraq, and efforts to contain the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran.

Zarate, who was personally involved in many of these developments, explains how the Treasury Department applied sanctions, extracted and analyzed financial intelligence, and negotiated global norms for financial regulation to advance national security objectives.
