What is the guiding principle of the world's most powerful nation as it searches for enemies at home and abroad? Who is actually running U.S. foreign policy? The story begins on September 12, 2001, as America began to gather itself for a response to the unimaginable. Journalist Suskind tells us what actually occurred over the next three years, from the inside out, by tracing the steps of the key actors who oversee the "war on terror" and report progress to an anxious nation; and the invisibles, the men and women just below the line of sight, left to improvise plans to defeat a new kind of enemy in an hour-by-hour race against disaster. The internal battles between these two teams--one, the Bush administration, under the hot lights; the other, actually fighting the fight--reveal everything about what America faces, and what it has done, in this age of terror.--From publisher description Formatted Contents Note False positives -- Beyond suspicion -- Necessity's offspring -- Zawahiri's head -- Going operational -- Cause for alarm -- Conversations with dictators -- Wages of fear -- Hearts and minds Subject Added Entry - Topical Term War on Terrorism, 2001-   Terrorism -- United States -- Prevention Subject Added Entry - Geographic Name United States -- Politics and government -- 2001-   United States -- Foreign relations -- 2001- Collection Category FO Format Monograph Location UP DMLS HV 6432 S87 2007 DMLS 0637 Regular Circulation CSSP-3415 Textual Physical Form Designator Book           Physical Location University of the Philippines Diliman Main Library: Social Sciences Section HV 6432 / S87 2007           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
