rating:
Clarke's book is an enlightening, sometimes scathing, look at how the last three presidential administrations have approached the threat of al Qaeda. Clarke would know since he worked for all three on counter-terrorism.
His book makes a convincing case that al Qaeda is currently the biggest threat to global security and that the current administration is busy playing Cowboy in Iraq, a country that was no threat to us, instead of trying to repair our relations with the peoples of Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia.
Clarke smartly recognizes that fixing seething anti-americanism around the world would actually make our country safer and also take away al Qaeda's main recruiting tool.
