«Contra Todos os Inimigos» is Richard A. Clarke's essay on the US counterterrorism fight, published by DIFEL in paperback (400 pages, in Portuguese).
Clarke, a former White House counterterrorism adviser for some thirty years, recounts how 9/11 was experienced in government and criticises the George W. Bush Administration for ignoring the threat from Bin Laden. He reviews the handling of terrorism by previous presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, and concludes that Al-Qaeda was not eliminated but became an even more global threat. He also denounces the politicisation of counterterrorism and the security vulnerabilities that persist.
Winner of the 2005 Audie Award in the author-narration category. The original English edition, Against All Enemies, was published on 22 March 2004. The foreword to this Portuguese edition argues that the Bush Administration politicised counterterrorism to gain electoral victories.
For readers interested in US politics, the fight against Al-Qaeda and the inner workings of the White House after 9/11.
