"John Ashcroft's service as attorney general began with turmoil: a loss to a deceased challenger in his Senate reelection campaign and a tumultuous confirmation battle. Then, on September 11, 2001, his job was transformed into the greatest leadership challenge an attorney general has ever faced. Highly classified intelligence briefings, secret surveillance of terror cells, and war councils with President Bush gave Ashcroft a uniquely comprehensive--and uniquely chilling--view of the threats to American security. [In this work] Ashcroft breaks his silence about historic events that transpired during his term of office--including the largest terrorist attack in U.S. history, the enactment and defense of the Patriot Act, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, theexecution of Timothy McVeigh, and the recently discovered domestic surveillance program authorized by President Bush."--From publisher description.Emphasizing the need to ensure the security of the United States, the former U.S. Attorney General discusses events of his term in office, including the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Robert Hanssen spy scandal, and the enactment of the Patriot Act.
