Description
John 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 USA 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 audiobook, listeners will meet the man behind the title and hear his take on the dangers to and within America, and what he did to repair the breaches in our country’s security.
As a governor, senator, and attorney general, John Ashcroft never shied away from controversy, and he remains one of most polarizing figures of President George W. Bush's tenure. In NEVER AGAIN, Ashcroft offers opponents and supporters alike the rare opportunity to learn more about how 9/11, the Patriot Act, the execution of Timothy McVeigh, and other tragic and controversial events affected him politically and personally. Ashcroft addresses these issues and events candidly and without apology. He is a surprisingly animated reader, who allows his emotions to show. This straightforward style adds to the book's appeal, especially when Ashcroft offers his unfiltered perspective on how these events will impact American and global security in the short- and long-term.
