Roy Gutman is a Pulitzer Prize - winning journalist who currently serves as foreign editor for McClatchy newspapers.
"Roy Gutman, a tireless reporter, has written a deeply researched and fascinating account of the various U.S. foreign policy failures that helped account for the rise of the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan before the 9/11 attacks. Gutman also explains how so many institutions in the United States, from the media to the national security establishment, largely missed what would turn out to be one of the most important stories of our time." - Peter Bergen, author of Holy War, Inc. and The Osama bin Laden I Know "This well-written, on-the-mark book is an informative and entertaining read. No other study that examines the events leading up to 9/11 is as persuasive in placing the blame where it belongs - on the failure of three successive U.S. presidents to provide the foreign policy leadership and direction needed to address the politics, philosophy, and disposition to violence of Islamist extremism." - Thomas E. Gouttierre, Dean, International Studies and Programs, University of Nebraska at Omaha"
