"Washington'sdifficult character" exposed the secrets of the U.S. counterterrorism war; all U.S. media extensively reported on the book; it made Bush and others "furious"; it was included in the "must-read classics" list by U.S. Democrats; a book that could potentially change the outcome of the U.S. election. In one word, it's "exposure." Clarke takes readers into the White House and numerous U.S. confidential agencies, into the history of 9/11 and the war on Iraq, as a massive dark curtain begins to unfold. As someone deeply familiar with the inner workings of the White House, Richard Clarke—former security advisor to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush—holds the most authority and credibility on U.S. counterterrorism issues. He knows more about Bin Laden and al-Qaeda than anyone else in the world, and his 20-year career has been dedicated to combating terrorism. Richard Clarke served seven U.S. presidents and held positions in the administrations of George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush until March 2003. He knows better than anyone else why the U.S. failed to prevent the 9/11 attacks; he knows better than anyone else how President Bush responded to the attacks and what happened in the days that followed. He is very clear about whether Iraq posed a terrorist threat to the U.S. and whether it actually harbored aggressive weapons. Clarke's recollections and compilations of presidential orders in Against All Enemies bring the real excitement of the book—exposing the long-standing inner workings of the leaders who have been in power for the crazy shouting.
