Quatrième de couverture :
'Mr Clarke's book is a rare literary phenomenon, a thriller, contemporary history and kiss-and-tell all rolled into one, before being bound with dynamite and fired crashing through the windows of the Oval Office'
The Times
When Richard Clarke's Against All Enemies vaulted into the public arena it changed the debate about the war on terror. His revelations about the Bush administration's inattention to the threat of terrorism pre-9/11, and his stinging critique of the impact on global terrorism of the war on Iraq shocked the world.
Yet, Against All Enemies is far more than a book about a single moment in time. It is both the most authoritative history of America's twenty-year struggle with terrorism, and a timeless memoir revealing how the government of the world's remaining superpower really works.
'This is not just another hysterical anti-Bush polemic but a forensic glimpse into the entrails of government'
Scotsman
'Against All Enemies is too good to be ignored…It is a rarity among Washington-insider memoirs - it's a thumping good read'
New Yrok Times
Présentation de l'éditeur :
When Richard Clarke's AGAINST ALL ENEMIES vaulted in to the public arena, an instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller and media sensation, it changed the debate about the war on terror. his revelations about the Bush administration's inattention to the threat to terrorism pre-9/11, and his stinging critique of the impact on terrorism of the war on Iraq, made front-page headlines. It is no wonder the White House went into full attack mode.
Yet as the extraordinary reviews attest, AGAINST ALL ENEMIES is far more than simply a book about a single moment in time. It is both the most authoritative history of America's twenty-year struggle with terrorism, and a timeless memoir revealing how the US government really works. Now with a new foreword discussing recent events in the war on terror, and the West's continuing struggle to respond, AGAINST ALL ENEMIES is set to sell for many years to come.
