title: The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack
author:  Ronald Kessler 
description: A powerful and brave book<b>.</b> Kessler makes it clear that if we win this war, it will be because of the FBI and CIA professionals who have protected America since 9/11. If we lose the war, it will be because of distortions by the mainstream media, those who leak operational secrets to them, and politicians who undermine those who are trying to protect us. <br />R. James Woolsey, former director of Central Intelligence<br /><br />Ronald Kessler vividly tells the important story of the extraordinary efforts of those Americans who stand on guard protecting our nation in the war against Islamist extremism.<br />Senator Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee<br /><br />Ron Kessler is unique in his ability and willingness to tell the unvarnished truth about what it will take to protect America from the next major terrorist attack. This is a book which every informed and responsible American should read.<br />Robert Grenier, former director of the CIAs Counterterrorism Center<br /><br />Ron Kessler destroys myths about the war on terror and provides an unprecedented inside look at how the FBI and CIA go about the tough task of defeating terrorism and preserving our freedom. <br />William H. Webster, former director of Central Intelligence and former director of the FBI

  #  Epigraph
  
  “And let’s remember that those charged with protecting us from attack have to
  be right 100 percent of the time. To inflict devastation on a massive scale,
  the terrorists only have to succeed once. And we know that they are trying
  every day.”
