The Watchdogs Didn't Bark

An insightful addition to scholarly 9/11 discourse.

In a world where fake news and skewed conspiracies are rampant, this book does a great job of offering first-hand, direct quotes from individuals involved in the lead up to- and failure to prevent- the 9/11 terrorist attacks. With insights from counterterrorism “Tsar” Richard Clarke, CIA analyst John Kiriakou, and FBI counterterror agent Mark Rossini and others, the reader can begin to see a larger picture of security failures, bureaucratic in-fighting, and multiple missed opportunities to prevent one of the worst tragedies in American history.
