  • Preview Excerpt
    Against All Enemies — Excerpt Evacuate the White House I ran through the West Wing to the Vice President’s office, oblivious to the stares and concern that brought. I had been at a conference in the Ronald Reagan Building three blocks away when Lisa Gordon-Hagerty called to say an aircraft had struck the World Trade Center: “Until we know what this is, Dick, we should assume the worst.” Lisa had been in the center of crisis coordination many times in exercises and all too often in the real world. “Right. Activate the CSG on secure video. I’ll be there in less than five,” I told her as I ran to my car. The CSG was the Counterterrorism Security Group, the leaders of each of the federal government’s counterterrorism and security organizations. I had chaired it since 1992. It was on a five-minute tether during business hours, twenty minutes at all other times. I looked at the clock on the dashboard. It was 9:03a.m., September 11, 2001. As I drove up to the first White House gate Lisa called again: “The other tower was just hit.” “Well, now we know who we’re dealing with. I want the highest level person in Washington from each agency on- screen now, especially FAA,” the Federal Aviation Administration. As I pulled the car up to the West Wing door, Paul Kurtz, one of the White House counterterrorism team, ran up to me. “We were in the Morning Staff Meeting when we heard. Condi told me to find you fast and broke up the meeting.
