Product Information

The Bush] administration has squandered the opportunity to eliminate al Qaeda....A new al Qaeda has emerged and is growing stronger, in part because of our own actions and inactions. It is in many ways a tougher opponent than the original threat we faced before September 11, and we are not doing what is necessary to make America safe from that threat. counterterrorism czar for both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. The one person who knows more about Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda than anyone else in this country, he has devoted two decades of his professional life to combating terrorism. Richard Clarke served seven presidents and worked inside the White House for George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush until he resigned in March 2003. He knows, better than anyone, the hidden successes and failures of the Clinton years. He knows, better than anyone, why we failed to prevent 9/11. He knows, better than anyone, how President Bush reacted to the attack and what happened behind the scenes in the days that followed. He knows whether or not Iraq presented a terrorist threat to the United States and whether there were hidden costs to the invasion of that country. administration's lack of interest in al Qaeda prior to September 11. From the moment the Bush team took office and decided to retain Clarke in his post as the counterterrorism czar, Clarke tried to persuade them to take al Qaeda as seriously as had Bill Clinton. For months, he was denied the opportunity even to make his case to Bush. He encountered key officials who gave the impression that they had never heard of al Qaeda; who focused incessantly on Iraq; who even advocated long-discredited conspiracy theories about Saddam's involvement in previous attacks on the United States. a scene described here for the first time -- and then watched in dismay at what followed. After ignoring existing plans to attack al Qaeda when he first took office, George Bush made disastrous decisions when he finally did pay attention. Coming from a man known as one of the hard-liners against terrorists, Against All Enemies is both a powerful history of our two-decades-long confrontation with terrorism and a searing indictment of the current administration.

Good balance to the war on terror story.
This is a good, but not great, book. It's presents too much of the complaint about other parties in the operation. It would be a much better read it it had been broadened to include more story about the subject matter, which, of course, would have required substantial research. It's good as far as it went, and provided a good supplement to some of the other books I've read on the same subject. I'm pleased that I read it; it provided great balance to the war on terror story.

Excellent and Stomach Churning
Back when we got into the Iraq Debacle, and I watched Colin Powell in front of the UN, my intuition was that he was lying and distorting. He ruined the good will he had developed over the years from the American People with that move. Now of course, the facts have proven how great the lies were everywhere. What is astounding about this intelligent and heartfelt book is how hard many of the National Security people worked over the years and how much was ignored by the misguided beings in office now. What Ricahrd Clarke - the former CounterTerrorism Czar does in this book is bring you the history from Reagan to Bush 2, from someone who was in the middle of it all. And you see just how much politics between places like the Military, FBI, CIA, Congress, and the White House make such a mess. But the most stomach churning thing about this book is you see how Bush 2 and his people refused to listen to good counsel. And that we are a weaker and less safe country because of it now. I highly recommend this book to anyone but the staunchest right wing conservative who will not be able to hear any of it. And then I recommend you share it with friends.Read full review

A True Account of America's Security Problems.
Excellent book. Richard Clarke gave a true account of our Countries Security problems, or lack of security, I might add. The failure of Bush and Condelesa Rice to focus on invading Iraq instead of the Security threats that were presented to them by the C.I.A; and the failure of other law enforcement agencies in protecting and monitoring terrorist already on our soil. Clarke did a good job and with his many years of experience in Government Security knew what he was talking about. Highly Recomended; along with other of Clarke's books.

Against All Enemies by Richard A. Clarke
THIS BOOK REALLY ILLUSTRATED THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED ON THE TERRORISM MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR ANYONE WANTING MORE INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT. THIS AUTHOR WORKED UNDER MANY PRESIDENTS AND HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH THE SUBJECT. HE IS A TRUE EXPERT AND HAS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT.
