Features: As someone who is intimately familiar with the inner workings of the White House, Richard Clarke—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 on the presidential staff of seven U.S. presidents, working under George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush until March 2003. He understands better than anyone else why the U.S. failed to prevent the 9/11 attacks; he knows more 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 harbored aggressive weapons. Clarke’s recollections and compilations in Against All Enemies bring to light the true shock of the book: the long-standing inner workings of leaders who have been in power. In one word, it’s "exposure." Clarke takes readers into the White House and the numerous U.S. secret agencies through vivid narration, into the history of 9/11 and the war on Iraq, as a massive curtain of secrecy is being lifted.
