Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Benjamin, the National Security Council's director for counterterrorism during the Clinton administration, and Simon, its first senior director of counterterrorism, here argue that Osama bin Laden is not the root of terrorist evil but merely a branch. Chillingly, the authors signed the contract for this book before September 11.

From AudioFile
Unlike many books about Al Qaeda and terrorism, THE AGE OF SACRED TERROR is not by journalists; instead, it offers the perspective of Daniel Benjamin and Steven Simon, National Security Council directors during the Clinton administration. Although much they describe is not new, the authors' perspective on 9/11, and the events leading up to it, is different from that commonly heard, and offers a candid examination of the Clinton admin-istration's actions, and inaction, followed by a critique of the Bush administration's policies after the attacks. Philip Bosco paces the book well, allowing the listener to focus on the events described. Bosco has a rare voice that, by itself, exudes credibility. His flawless reading demonstrates why he is an accomplish-ed actor, and a welcome audiobook reader.
