Book Description
“Congressman Curt Weldon provides a rare—indeed unique—insight on what is going on in the war on terrorism through his ‘Ali’ missives. The book is a case study of an intelligence failure in the process of happening, with potentially catastophic consequences for the United States. Moreover, Curt accurately diagnoses the larger problems in the intelligence community that can result in intelligence failures. He offers a blueprint for solving these problems, and for winning the war on terrorism, that deserves a wide hearing.”
—R. James Woolsey, former director of Central Intelligence
