"Against All Enemies" - The #1 New York Times best seller, this book revealed for the first time the failures of the Bush Administration to do anything about terrorism before 9-11 and how the Administration intentionally and erroneously used the attacks as a justification to go to war with Iraq. Speaking out publicly against that war long before most Washington insiders, attacking Bush's folly when doing so was not popular, Clarke took risks others were unwilling to run, but his analysis was eventually vindicated. He also tells a riveting account of the day of 9-11 as only the national crisis manager could tell it. The book also goes back twenty years to tell us how we got into this situation, but it does so in a fast paced, engaging, and accessible style. This is how the government works behind the doors in national security as told by the longest serving White House national security council staff policy official, appointed to key positions in the Reagan, Bush(41), Clinton, and Bush (43) administrations."
These are a series of audio clips of Richard Clarke's readings from his book: "Against All Enemies".
The book is a time line of critical historical events as seen by Richard Clarke (National Security Adviser) under Presidents Reagan, Clinton (both terms) and G. Bush Jr. (until Clarke quite in disgust).
I highly recommend Richard Clarke's book for its insightful observations regarding our nation's ongoing war on terror. In the process, he also illustrates with remarkable focus why we need to know that the some of our most dangerous enemies are our own elected officials.
That's why it's important to understand that if OUR representatives aren't accountable for their actions then we're all doomed; because if corrupt and criminal representatives know they won't be held accountable by the citizens of the US, they won't stop. To these unconscionable criminals way of thinking, why should they? It is up to "We, the people" to stop them. There's no one else.

Terrorism is alive and well inside the USA...
Osama Bin Laden was murdered in Dec 2002
and Prime Minister Bhutto was assassinated for exposing this. Yet, the gov't continues to show news articles with Osama speaking. People, wake up...I don't believe that Clarke really cares about our country. He just wants the big bucks!

@Whitedovie - What evidence do you have that Osama bin Laden is dead?
You "don't beleve...", so where's your proof? It's easy to talk crap. Back it up with evidence.

Richard Clarke is a CIA and CFR fraudster. Michael Scheuer, ex CIA and a head of the Bin Laden Unit informs us that Richard Clarke called a Saudi Sheik in the desert who was having lunch with Osama Bin Laden to "high tail" it. Thanks Mr. Clarke! We could have gotten Bin Laden before 911 happened. What a hero you are! You are more like a joke along with your Merry Band of Sheik protectors. Must be nice being on their payroll. I'm sure Adams, Jefferson and Washinton would approve of you. NOT

@rmcnnlly - Instead of providing proof to support your statements you complain that I reply? - lol
btw, Richard Clarke was NSA not CIA. Obviously, you are unfamiliar with even the most basic facts of the situation.

I addressed mcnnlly's mis-characterization of events where he posted his sources for his statement (Wikipedia and Fox news - lol) on the "Richard Clarke (Against All Enemies) disk 2/6 part 1" video comments board.
btw, an interesting article on Michael Scheuer by ex-CIA Larry Johnson can be found by googling:
