Features: In one word, it can be summarized as 'unveiling secrets.' Clark takes readers into the White House and the numerous secretive institutions in the U.S. with vivid narration, delving into the history of 9/11 and the war against Iraq, as a massive dark curtain begins to unfold. As someone deeply familiar with the inner workings of the White House, Richard Clarke—the former security advisor to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush—holds unparalleled authority and credibility on the issue of the U.S. counterterrorism war. 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 under 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 a true sense of excitement, yet it is the unveiling of the long-standing inner workings of the leaders who have been in power for years.
