Caroline's review of Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror
Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror by Richard A. Clarke
Part history, part memoir, part condemnation, part warning and part advice, this was very informative and very fascinating. It almost read like a political thriller. I learned so much about U.S. relations with the Mid East and about U.S. intelligence. I was struck by a sentence early in the book in which Clarke says that, in hindsight, the Cold War administrations were criticized for overestimating the threat of nuclear war. But, at the time, it was real. Now terrorism is real. The book was very focused and didn't turn into an all out attack on Bush, "all out" being the operative phrase. I even laughed a few times.
