Steve Forbes, Forbes, September 15, 2003
The author tapped an extraordinary array of sources.... This book delivers a devastating blow to the former President's reputation.

Robert D. Novak, The Washington Post, September 1, 2003
...based on direct, on-the-record quotes from participants.... Miniter has written a bitter indictment of the American president.

first book to trace the tracks of losing an important foe, October 4, 2003
By 	Ruth Sprague (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book reads like a Tom Clancey novel, but the book itself is based on true life, not fiction. It is better than fiction, and traces the failures of the Clinton Administration to do anything about a terrible threat to American security. I couldn't put the book down, it was that good.
This is the first book that details all the events that bin Laden launched against the US and the Western World, in general, with a lackluster response from the White House. This definitely illustrates the faulty worldview of Clinton, wherein his belief in the inherent goodness instead of the fallenness of man, made him leave a menace untouched, specifically one with the name of Osama bin Laden. The few responses, including military ones, that Clinton gave were pathetic, and the book entails all this.
I know that there are other reviewers that have gone into great detail about the things in the book, but I believe that people should read the book on their own.
Their are detailed pictures in the appendix of the book, as to papers and identities. A great book for future historical reference, if nothing else.

A fascinating resource on pre-911 Osama bin Laden, November 3, 2003
By 	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In this book, investigative journalist Richard Miniter looks at the activities of terrorist Osama bin Laden during the tenure of the Clinton administration, and looks at the administration's responses. Every terrorist attack, from the 1992 bombing at the Aden Hotel in Yemen, to the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, is covered in fascinating detail. Along the way, the reader is treated to a great deal of information about the roots of the present "War on Terror."

This book is somewhat hard to review. Starting with the introduction, the author seems to make it clear that he had intended this book to be a resounding indictment of President Clinton, and balance was not what he was aiming for. However, that said, I did find this book to be a fascinating resource on the pre-911 activities of Osama bin Laden. I did not realize how much there was to know about what Bin Laden had been up to, and am quite glad that I read this book.

Yes, supporters of the Clinton administration will find this book too unbalanced to enjoy, whereas opponents of the previous president will relish it. But, for anyone who is simply interested in the pre-911 activities of Osama bin Laden, I would recommend this as a fascinating resource.

Why This Book is Outstanding, September 25, 2003
Reviewer: A reader
Here's a list of the reasons this book is simply outstanding:

1. It has the goods on what Clinton did and didn't do from Clinton's own people. High-level, in the Situation Room kinds of people.
2. It has the goods on what Clinton did and didn't do from court records, government documents, and extensive research.
3. It has the goods on what Clinton did and didn't do from the CIA and the FBI. Even from foreign intelligence services that were involved!
4. It's fair. It really is. The author actually tells you the things Clinton got right, even though there are very very few of them. But you can't blame the author that there are so few things Clinton did right! But the fact that it's fair makes the failures even more powerful.
5. It's a serious piece of work. Lots of fact and little opinion. That's the way indictments should be.
6. It deals head-on with the "Reagan/CIA created bin Laden myth," and debunks it. (That's for all the reviewers pretending to have read the book who complain the book doesn't deal with that issue.)
7. You learn alot about how all the pieces fit together right up to the Oval Office.
8. It's a page-turning read.
9. It's suspenseful.
10. It has fascinating characters.
11. And the final reason that it's outstanding is that it's got the Clinton lovers running scared for all the reasons above.

P.S. If you want a test for someone who didn't read the book writing a review, just look for the words "polemic," "rant," "boring," "screed," "badly researched," etc. You get the picture
