Morten Storm was an unlikely Jihadist. A 6'1" red-haired Dane, he spent his teens with a biker gang or in jail. After converting to Islam, he transformed from a militant madrassa in Yemen to a close friendship with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born cleric and a significant threat to the West. Storm's journey took another dramatic turn when he lost his faith and was recruited by the CIA, MI6, and MI5, becoming a double agent with the mission to take down al-Awlaki. This memoir recounts his quest for purpose within a community of believers before rejecting their extremist ideology. For five years, he lived undercover, completing high-profile missions and thwarting multiple terrorist attacks while leading intelligence services to dangerous al-Qaeda operatives, all while knowing his life was at risk. The narrative provides an unprecedented look into the Jihadist world, from dodging drones with al-Qaeda leaders to Jihadist gyms in Birmingham. It also reveals insights into powerful spy agencies, their tradecraft, and the use of a beautiful blonde in a honey trap. Filled with close calls, coded messages, and chilling duplicity, this captivating real-life thriller offers a unique perspective on a complex and dangerous world.

Aktuální příběh dvojitého agenta Dán Morten Storm se již v mládí dopouštěl násilného jednání, své třinácté narozeniny oslavil pokusem o ozbrojenou loupež. Po konverzi k islámu propadl jeho radikálnímu výkladu a odešel do Jemenu účastnit se ozbrojeného džihádu. V Jemenu strávil desítku let ve výcvikových táborech al-Káidy po boku nejhledanějších teroristů a postupně se stal jednou z předních postav mezi islamisty. Později však islámskou víru opustil a stal se dvojitým agentem pro americkou, britskou a dánskou tajnou službu. Kniha napsaná s pomocí specialisty na terorismus stanice CNN Paula Cruikshanka a zkušeného reportéra specializujícího se na Blízký východ Tima Listera odhaluje dramatický osud člověka, který se dokázal vymanit z osidel radikální ideologie. V době, kdy tisíce džihádistů evropského původu odcházejí bojovat v řadách Islámského státu do Sýrie a jejich případný návrat do Evropy představuje nemalé bezpečnostní riziko, je příběh agenta Storma o to aktuálnější.

All of your projects and programs make up your portfolio . But how much time do you actually spend on your projects, and how much time do you spend responding to emergencies? This book will introduce you to different ways of ordering all of the projects you are working on now, and help you figure out how to staff those projects-even when you've run out of project teams to do the work. Once you learn to manage your portfolio better, you'll avoid emergency "firedrills". The trick is adopting lean and agile approaches to projects, whether they are software projects, projects that include hardware, or projects that depend on chunks of functionality from other suppliers. You may be accustomed to spending time in meetings where you still don't have the data you need to evaluate your projects. Here, with a few measures, you'll be able to quickly evaluate each project and come to a decision quickly. You'll learn how to define your team's, group's, or department's mission with none of the buzzwords that normally accompany a mission statement. Armed with the work and the mission, you can make those decisions that define the true leaders in the organization.
