Read in January, 2004
Essential (and often enraging) reading, even at this late date (I first read this book in 2004), about former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke's determined but ultimately futile efforts to alert the Bush administration to the dangers terrorism posed to the U.S. Clarke is now a foreign policy advisor to Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign. UPDATE: I accidentally linked to a German edition of this book, but will leave it up for German readers. Anglophones can get an English edition here. UPDATE: Should have added that Clarke was appalled that a war with Iraq, which had nothing to do with the threats he was most concerned about, was being contemplated by the Bush administration.
