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.

Contra todos los enemigos es una fascinante historia de dos décadas de lucha contra el terrorismo, a la vez que una crítica aguda de Richard A. Clarke, Consejero de Seguridad Nacional, contra la política antiterrorista de la Administracion del presidente de EE.UU., George W. Bush.

¿Se podían haber evitado los ataques del 11-S? Richard A. Clarke, el mayor experto antiterrorista de los gobiernos de Bill Clinton y George W. Bush, está convencido de que la Administración Bush desperdicio la oportunidad de eliminar a Al Qaeda, y que sus decisiones -y su falta de decision- han contribuido a crear una nueva Al Qaeda, mucho mas poderosa, capaz de atentados como los del 11-S o el 11-M. Frente a la postura del resto de asesores de Bush, que defendian desacreditadas teorias de conspiracion en relacion con una posible implicacion de Sadam Hussein en anteriores ataques a Estados Unidos para justificar una invasion a Irak, Clarke sostiene que Sadam no constituia una amenaza real. Ese interes por atacar Irak se mantuvo incluso en el gabinete de crisis del 11-S que dirigio Clarke, dos dias escalofriantes que se relatan paso a paso en el libro por primera vez.
