Richard Clarke's statement to the 911 families that "Your government failed you and I failed you" was the most dramatic moment in the 911 Commission hearings. His numberone best seller, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror, explained how the U.S. had stumbled into a struggle with violent Islamist extremists.

Now, in Your Government Failed You, Clarke looks at why failures have continued and how America and the world can succeed against the terrorists.

But Clarke goes beyond terrorism to examine the recurring U.S. government disasters. Despite the lessons of Vietnam, we've gotten involved in Iraq. A trail of intelligence failures litter the Washington landscape. From Katrina to color codes and duct tape, homeland security has been an oxymoron. Why does the Superpower continue to hobble national security?

Drawing on his 30 years in the White House, Pentagon, State Department, and Intelligence Community, Clarke discovers patterns in the failure and suggests ways to stop the cycle.
