An insider's unflinching account of America's response to terrorism, written by Richard A. Clarke, the counter-terrorism czar who served under four presidents. This is the book that sparked fierce debate when it was published—Clarke pulls no punches in examining policy failures, political decisions, and the real stories behind the War on Terror. Dense with detail but compulsively readable, it's essential reading for anyone trying to understand the forces that shaped our modern world. Perfect for political junkies and contemporary history buffs.
