John Ashcroft's service as attorney general began with
turmoil: a loss to a deceased challenger in his senate
reelection campaign and a tumultuous confirmation battle.
Then, on September 11, 2001, his job was transformed into
the greatest leadership challenge an attorney general has
ever faced. Highly classified intelligence briefings, secret
surveillance of terror cells, and war councils with
President Bush gave Ashcroft a uniquely comprehensive--and
uniquely chilling--view of the threats to American security.
In NEVER AGAIN, Ashcroft breaks his silence about historic
events that transpired during his term of office--including
the largest terrorist attack in U.S. history, the enactment
and defense of the Patriot Act, the Robert Hanssen spy
scandal, the execution of Timothy McVeigh, and the recently
discovered domestic surveillance program authorized by
President Bush. In this provocative book, readers will meet
the man behind the title and hear his take on the dangers to
and within America from outside forces, and what he did to
repair the serious breaches in our country's security. NEVER
AGAIN is a fascinating and probing look at what Ashcroft
believes will ultimately make America safe.
