Super Short Summary

Against All Enemies by Richard A. Clarke critiques U.S. presidential policies, especially those of George W. Bush, and their impact on the "war on terrorism," focusing on the period leading up to and following the September 11 attacks. Clarke argues that the administration ignored warnings about Al-Qaeda, misguidedly invaded Iraq, and failed to strategically address terrorism, ultimately strengthening terrorist groups and misusing resources. The book discusses terrorism and violent conflict extensively.
