About this item

How safe are we? What do we sacrifice to feel safe? And who pays the ultimate price? Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists examine one of the most sensitive post-9/11 national security investigations - a breathtaking race to prevent an al-Qaeda bomber from launching Osama bin Laden's final attack on American soil. In Enemies Within, Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman lay bare the complex and often contradictory state of counterterrorism and intelligence in America through the pursuit of Najibullah Zazi, a terrorist bomber who trained under one of bin Laden's most trusted deputies. Zazi and his coconspirators represented America's greatest fear: a terrorist cell operating inside America. Apuzzo and Goldman lift the veil of secrecy to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of our counterterrorism measures.
