1. Evacuate the White House -- 2. Stumbling into the Islamic World -- 3. Unfinished missions, unintended consequences -- 4. Terror returns (1993-1996) -- 5. The almost war, 1996 -- 6. Al Qaeda revealed -- 7. Beginning homeland protection -- 8. Delenda Est -- 9. Millenium alert -- 10 Before and after September 11 -- 11. Right war, wrong war.
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. 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.
