      By Elnoury, Tamer  Maurer, Kevin
       2017., General, Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House Call No: Bio E48a    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: It's no secret that federal agencies are waging a broad, global war against terror. In this memoir, a Muslim American federal agent reveals his experience infiltrating and bringing down a terror cell in North America. Tamer Elnoury joined an elite counterterrorism unit after September 11. Its express purpose is to gain the trust of terrorists whose goals are to take out as many Americans in as public and as devastating a way possible. It's a furious race against the clock to stop them before they can implement their plans. Yet as new as this war still is, the techniques are as old as time: listen, record, and prove terrorist intent. Due to his ongoing work for the FBI, Elnoury writes under a pseudonym.

      By Mayer, Jane
       c2008., Doubleday Call No: 973.931 M468d    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: In the days immediately following September 11th, the most powerful people in the country were panic-stricken. Radical decisions about how to combat terrorists and strengthen national security were made in a state of chaos and fear, but the key players, Vice President Cheney and his powerful, secretive adviser David Addington, used the crisis to further a long-held agenda to enhance presidential powers to a degree never known in U.S. history, and obliterate Constitutional protections that define the very essence of the American experiment. This is a dramatic account of how the United States made terrible decisions in the pursuit of terrorists around the world--decisions that not only violated the Constitution, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda. Whatever the short-term gains, there were incalculable losses in terms of moral standing, our country's place in the world, and its sense of itself.--From publisher description.

      -- Kill or capture
      By Klaidman, Daniel
       2012., Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Call No: 363.325 K63k    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Is Barack Obama an idealist or a ruthless pragmatist? He vowed to close Guantnamo, put an end to coercive interrogation, and restore American principles of justice, yet in his first term he has backtracked on each of these promises, ramping up the secret war of drone strikes and covert operations. Behind the scenes, wrenching debates between hawks and doves--those who would kill versus those who would capture--have repeatedly tested the president. Investigative reporter Dan Klaidman has spoken to dozens of sources to piece together a Washington story packed with revelations. As the president's inner circle debated secret programs, new legal frontiers, and the disjuncture between principles and down-and-dirty politics, Obama vacillated, sometimes lashed out, and spoke in lofty tones while approving a mounting toll of assassinations and kinetic-war operations. Klaidman reveals who has Obama's ear, how key national security decisions are really made, and whether or not President Obama has lived up to the promise of candidate Obama.--From publisher description.
