Re: Whetstone on Cook, 'A Woman's Place: US Counterterrorism since 9/11'

Thank you for such a thorough review; this book is on my to-read list so I appreciate an outline and your key findings from it.

Given the GAO's December 2022 report on Women in Special Operations and the fact that CT remains a core activity of U.S. Special Operations Command, I'd be interested to see what source material or references the author used to specifically look at what role women in special operators, understanding their disproportionate lack of representation in the force, played in CT.
