She is now responsible for intelligence, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security. The Next Wave, Catherine’s most recent book, reveals the new face of terrorism and anticipates the source of future threats. It was the first book of its kind since Bin Laden’s murder to depict what the next chapter of terrorism would look like: “al Qaeda 2.0,” she calls it.

Catherine’s investigation of al Qaeda 2.0 revealed the rising threat of homegrown terrorism, how social networking is the lifeblood of the digital jihadist, and the profound influence of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric who leads al Qaeda in Yemen—the most active and lethal of the terror network’s affiliates—as she discusses in her speeches.
