In this best-selling book, Richard A. Clarke shares inside information, as he perceived it during his years as a counterterrorism czar, national security counselor to three presidents. He particularly focuses on the lack of interest the Bush administration showed towards taking a close and serious look at the al Qaeda terrorism threat, and how the September 11th attacks were a springboard towards the war against Iraq when in reality there has yet to be any proof that shows Saddam Hussein had any connections with bin Laden. The Bush] administration has squandered the opportunity to eliminate al Qaeda.... No one has more authority to make that claim than Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism czar for both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. The one person who knows more about Usama bin Laden and al Qaeda than anyone else in this country, he has devoted two decades of his professional life to combating terrorism. Richard Clarke served seven presidents and worked inside the White House for George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush until he resigned in March 2003.
