Purchase options and add-ons

Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists take an unbridled look into one of the most sensitive post-9/11 national security investigations—a breathtaking race to stop a second devastating terrorist attack on American soil.

In Enemies Within, Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman “reveal how New York really works” (James Risen, author of State of War) and lay bare the complex and often contradictory state of counterterrorism and intelligence in America through the pursuit of Najibullah Zazi, a terrorist bomber who trained under one of bin Laden’s most trusted deputies. Zazi and his co-conspirators represented America’s greatest fear: a terrorist cell operating inside America.

This real-life spy story—uncovered in previously unpublished secret NYPD documents and interviews with intelligence sources—shows that while many of our counterterrorism programs are more invasive than ever, they are often counterproductive at best.

After 9/11, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly initiated an audacious plan for the Big Apple: dispatch a vast network of plainclothes officers and paid informants—called “rakers” and “mosque crawlers”—into Muslim neighborhoods to infiltrate religious communities and eavesdrop on college campuses. Police amassed data on innocent people, often for their religious and political beliefs. But when it mattered most, these strategies failed to identify the most imminent threats.

In Enemies Within, Appuzo and Goldman tackle the tough questions about the measures that we take to protect ourselves from real and perceived threats. They take you inside America’s sprawling counterterrorism machine while it operates at full throttle. They reveal what works, what doesn’t, and what Americans have unknowingly given up. “Did the Snowden leaks trouble you? You ain’t seen nothing yet” (Dan Bigman, Forbes editor).

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Apuzzo and Goldman are the new Woodward and Bernstein." -- Spencer Ackerman, national security editor, The Guardian

"Two of America's best reporters pull back the curtain to reveal how New York really works. In the process, they also raise troubling questions about the price that America has paid, particularly in its moral standing, in prosecuting the war on terror. They ask the hardest question of them all. They ask Americans to look in the mirror." -- James Risen, author of State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration

"The authors use their investigative know-how like skilled surgeons, utilizing their scalpel to expose a malignant growth in the heart of the NYPD." -- Frank Serpico

"Enemies Within combines the quick-paced storytelling of a mystery novel with the intellectual altitude of intelligence experts. It offers insights into the methods that work the best against would-be terrorists, as well as those that are not only a waste of money and time, but abuse the nature of our democracy. A great, informative read." -- Dana Priest, investigative reporter, The Washington Post, and author of Top Secret America: The Rise of the Nation

"Despite all the hype around NSA's secret Prism surveillance program, Apuzzo and Goldman show how the Zazi case really got made. This book is both a thriller and a hard-hitting expose of the NYPD Intel unit set up after 9/11. While the American people have shown some willingness to give up privacy for the hope of greater security, the reader can be the judge of whether the shocking excesses of this unit are justified by its results." -- Vicki Divoll, former general counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee and former assistant general counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency

"Like too many stories about the post-9/11 fight against terrorism, this is a tale in which American boldness, cunning, and ingenuity are frequently undermined by American arrogance, recklessness, and narrow-mindedness. Apuzzo and Goldman’s revelatory investigation casts a troubling light on the NYPD and reverberates far beyond New York City, exposing the risks of waging an ill-defined 'war on terror.'" -- Justin Vogt, senior editor, Foreign Affairs

"Enemies Within is a deeply reported and well written account of the NYPD's aggressive efforts to monitor the Muslim-American community and the most threatening al-Qaeda plot since 9/11--the plot to bomb the New York City subway system in 2009--a plot that NYPD's surveillance efforts did not detect." -- Peter Bergen ― author of Manhunt: The Ten-Year Search for Bin Laden, from 9/11 to Abbottabad

“A deep, jaw-dropping dive . . . No book better sums up the state of post-9/11 fear.” ― National Journal

“Two tales tell us a great deal—not all of it flattering—about the ways in which law
enforcement has kept the city safe. . . . Assiduous reporting.” ― The Wall Street Journal

"A fascinating new book." ― The Economist

“If you're a citizen, you need to read Enemies Within . . . . The authors have a story worthy of a thriller. The book is peopled with spies, terrorists and decorated war heroes. . . . Apuzzo and Goldman have sounded an alarm.” ― Associated Press

“While Apuzzo and Goldman show their veteran reportorial skills in exposing the details of the NYPD’s surveillance program, they also expertly craft the drama of the unfolding terrorist plot and the race by government agencies to foil it. . . . A fast-paced, informative investigation into the ever-messy arena of privacy versus security.” ― Kirkus Reviews

"It is no stretch to say that the season's most anticipated book of investigative journalism is Enemies Within" ― The Atlantic Wire

Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman chronicle how the quest for safety led to something far darker....Did the Snowden leaks trouble you? You ain't seen nothing yet. -- Dan Bigman, business news managing editor ― Forbes

A Captivating and Accurate Account

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

Whether you are a New Yorker, concerned American, civil libertarian, or any one tangentially interested in post-9/11 policies, modern police tactics, or good books, this will not disappoint.

The book masterfully intertwines a gripping account of the real plot to bomb New York's subways with details about the NYPD's post-9/11 practices. Unbiased in their research, Apuzzo and Goldman lay out how counterterrorism efforts are supposed to be managed between the FBI and the NYPD and how the activities of the NYPD Intelligence Division create an alternative, often damaging, investigation effort. From the first pages of the book, that really reads like a novel, you will not want to stop until you learn all you can about what is going on within the NYPD.

The book urges the reader to go beyond the superficial claims of officials that certain policies or practices are necessary for our safety. One, of the very many, examples in the book is the NYPD's investigation of people who changed their name. The NYPD would pick out names that might be from Muslim countries and perform background checks, storing all of the information that was found. Then they would go and interview people about why they decided to change their name. At the end of the day, not was the effort a waste of time, but the police frequently found that people changed their name because of the discrimination they experienced. Sadly, these suspicionless name investigations furthered that discrimination.

While the Mayor (Michael Bloomberg), the Police Commissioner (Ray Kelly), and the Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence (David Cohen) all claimed that religion plays no part in their efforts, the book clearly shows how that is simply not true. The legality of the NYPD's actions is highly questionable and the book documents how apprehensive even the FBI is of the invasive and ultimately ineffective means that Cohen uses to gather information. While the book inadvertently makes the FBI look far more benevolent that it is (the FBI, like the NYPD, has mapped out American communities based on stereotypes), it exposes patently discriminatory practices and shows why they are simply not effective.

To the extent that people want to have greater information about what works and what doesn't in the attempt to keep our country safe, this is an excellent book. To the extent to which people want to know whether the NYPD is using the many resources it is given effectively, this is an excellent book. And to the extent that people want to have a more informed dialogue about how to ensure that those entrusted to protect us are held accountable for their actions, this is an excellent book.

The authors understand that there can be tension between individual liberties/rights and safety. They simply want us to grapple with whether we have drawn the line in the right place.

Rare glimpse by brave reporters inside Ray Kelly's NYPD

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Despite the waning popularity of Mayor Michael Bloomberg in NYC, Raymond Kelly still seems to claim the vote. I believe that this is because, even New Yorkers who pride themselves on democratic policing and their liberal, open, and ethnically rich city, have not seen through the the NYPD's spin machine which, until recently, was headed by Paul Browne. Only a few mainstream journalists have braved the wrath of the NYPD by writing what it really going on inside the organization and its significant in terms the public.. Apuzzo and Goldman are two. In Enemies within, they delve into the inner workings of the NYPD's Intelligence Division and its questionably legal spying on Muslim communities in their places of rest, worship and the universities where their youth study. The authors show in well documented detail not only the ineffectiveness of the unit, but also its gross violation of the principles of democratic policing. But the unit is more than ineffective, its mistakes almost resulted in upending a major terrorist investigation by the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force. ONe NYPD officer who on the task force and refused to turn over confidential material to the NYPD Intel Division in obedience to his FBI chain of command, was punished by Kelly and Cohen with a transfer. Apuzzo and Goldman make abundantly evident that Kelly and Cohen's grandiose belief that they own New York City and can fight terrorism by themselves, has served to not only alienate the Muslim community whose information they depend on for good intelligence regarding possible terrorist activity,, but also the FBI and a number of local law enforcement agencies and others in politically influential positions. In summary, ENEMIES WITHIN IS A WELL WRITTEN, WELL RESEARCHED MUST READ FOR ALL AMERICANS and interested folk abroad who are trying to balance democracy and the threat of terrorism.
Jennifer C. Hunt Ph.D (Sociologist and author of Seven Shots: An NYPD Raid on a Terrorist Cell and its Aftermath).)

David Cohen Enemy of Democracy

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

David Cohen, NYPD spymaster, would whack these bleeping reporters if he knew how to shoot more than his filthy mouth. Lacking courage to operate openly Cohen will arrange a secret financial hit on their bank accounts, plant a bug inside Associated Press headquarters up the avenue from his spy hole on 10th Avenue at West 16th Street, and publicize another illusory conquest of terrorism to keep the funds of fear flowing.

Nothing frightens spies more than sunshine and, wow, has Apuzzo and Goldman shined the sun on Cohen's black underworld of deceit, lawlessness, avoidance of oversight, public unaccountability, laundering spy money through the vapidly named Police Foundation funded by black-hearted Wall Street, insults ad nauseum, vainglory, downright stupidity, all the characteristics of criminal global spyworld brought home to NYC as if the 1% had not already invited enough retaliation from victims of globalization.

Cohen, in short, by bamboozling with CIA credentials and tradecraft Mayor Michael Bloomberg, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelley, the City Council and not least, Wall Street idolators, instituted a secret reign of terror among law-abiding Muslims in NYC, by exploiting predjudice of post-911 panic. How in the hell did this happen and why did it take so long to expose it? Easy answer, addiction to secrecy, the enemy of democracy, the god of spies, the sacred codebook for accumulating wealth.

Otherwise the book is a compelling account of the non-spying NYPD, the FBI and multiple police forces investigation and pursuit of would be bombers. Congratulations to the dutiful law-abiders which counter the few power-drunk off their rockers.

Feedback on Enemies Within

Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2013

Somewhat disappointed at the extent to which all muslims are grouped and looked at as potential terrorist. Bearing in mind that there are over 1.5 billion muslims in the world. It is sad that the perpetuation of these views continue to this day and this situation will get no better unless a different approach is taken to dealing with the question of terrorism.
