Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror
Richard A. Clarke
(Author)
Description
THE EXPLOSIVE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER With all-new excerpts from Richard Clarke's dramatic public testimony, and revealing corroboration from The 9/11 Commission Report
From the 9/11 Commission Report:
"On the day of the meeting [September 4, 2001], Clarke sent Rice an impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counterterrorism efforts past and present. The 'real question' before the principals, he wrote, was 'are we serious about dealing with the al Qida threat?...Is al Qida a big deal?...Decision makers should imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeeded in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in several countries, including the US, ' Clarke wrote. 'What would those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future day could happen at any time.'"

Reviews
The New York Times Book Review Against All Enemies is too good to be ignored...It is a rarity among Washington-insider memoirs -- it's a thumping good read.
