Overview: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Ron Suskind takes you deep inside America’s real battles with violent, unrelenting terrorists — a game of kill-or-be-killed, from the Oval Office to the streets of Karachi.
You may think you know what the “war on terror” is.
But to know it truly, you must read this book.
Suskind has written a riveting work of narrative nonfiction, filled with exclusive, historically significant disclosures that will echo across America and the world.
What is the guiding principle of the world’s most powerful nation as it searches for enemies at home and abroad? The One Percent Doctrine is the deeply secretive core of America’s real playbook: a default strategy, designed by Dick Cheney, that separates America from its moorings, and has driven everything — from war in Afghanistan to war in Iraq to the global search for jihadists.
The story begins on September 12, 2001, the day America began to gather itself for a response to the unimaginable. Ultimately, that reply would shape the nation’s very character.
Suskind tells us what actually occurred over the next three years, from the inside out, by tracing the steps of the key actors — the notables, from the President and Vice President to George Tenet and Condoleezza Rice, 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, 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.
