Synopsis
Washington insider Richard A. Clarke shares his perspective on the George W. Bush administration's preparedness for, and response to, the events of September 11, 2001. Clarke, now retired after 30 years of public service, worked for several presidents, both Democrat and Republican. Often referred to as the terrorism czar before the Homeland Security Department was created, Clarke's official title, created by President Clinton, was National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counterterrorism. He was retained by the Bush administration until his retirement in 2003. In AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, Clarke provides an insider account of both the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, as well as the events of September 11, 2001, when he ran the White House situation room. He makes several charges--including that the Bush administration, in its first year, was poorly prepared and even unwilling to engage al Qaeda despite Clarke's attempts to apprise them of the threat. And he criticizes President Bush's war on terror, saying that the Bush administration has "squandered" resources by shifting the focus to Iraq, which Clarke says seems to have been a priority from the beginning. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.

The former White House counterterrorism czar offers a disturbing insider's view of America's war on terror, both before and after September 11th, including what went right or wrong, the operations of the Al Qaeda network, the Department of Homeland Security, and other crucial aspects of what the Bush administration is doing. Simultaneous.

Industry Reviews
"AGAINST ALL ENEMIES is a highly readable, often exciting, and authoritative account of America's most dangerous immediate problem, how to deal with terrorism and al-Qaeda. It is also the story of one man's effort to make the complex bureaucracy of the federal government respond to undefined but devastating threats as well as to unforeseen emergencies. It is an important book."
New York Review of Books - Brian Urquhart (05/13/2004)

"[I]f President Bush and his advisers were hoping that their loud preemptive attacks on AGAINST ALL ENEMIES would make this book go away, they were sadly mistaken. Richard A. Clarke knows too much, and AGAINST ALL ENEMIES is to good to be ignored....It is a rarity among Washington-insider memoirs--it's a thumping good read."
