The Terrorist Hunters is the first definitive inside account of the key terrorist events of our time. It is the story of how UK police are hunting a new and lethal threat. Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman, CBE, QPM, was in overall command of the UK's national counter-terrorism offensive, at the centre of every major terrorist investigation - overt and covert - during the dramatic events from 2005 to 2007.
In a gripping and at times heartbreaking account, he sheds new light on the 7 July bomb attacks in London, the attempted bombings of 21 July, the tragic shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, and many other cases that happened outside the glare of media attention. He describes how he led a dedicated team of men and women, committed to protecting the UK from dangerous enemies.
Hayman lived through the pain and soul-searching when terrorists did succeed - and the behind-the-scenes pride when intelligence officers prevented attacks. He gives us unprecedented insight into key top-level crisis meetings he attended with intelligence chiefs and political leaders.
He also, for the first time, gives us his no-holds-barred analysis and criticism of the way politicians and law enforcers tackle terrorism. He outlines a radical blueprint for the future to better protect the public, not least in the run-up to the 2012 Olympic Games and beyond.
If you thought you knew the stories behind the news headlines, this book will make you think again.
