Firmly challenging this characterization, James Boys explores the long-misunderstood approach adopted by the Clinton administration as it sought to define an effective response to acts of political violence. Boys argues that only by understanding the efforts of Clinton and his team to address international terrorism can we make sense of the reasoning behind the actions of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, all of whom inherited, continued, and expanded on Clinton-era policies and practices. Drawing on official documents and on interviews with key players, he reveals the evolution of counterterrorism strategy throughout the Clinton administration, as well as the ramifications that it has today.September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001TerrorismGovernment policyUnited StatesTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyUnited StatesHistory21st centuryTerrorismUnited StatesPreventionPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / GeneralbisacshUnited StatesForeign relations1993-2001September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001.TerrorismGovernment policyTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyHistoryTerrorismPreventionGovernment policyHistoryTerrorismPrevention.POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General.327.73Boys James D.803444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796750003321Clinton's war on terror3767297UNINA
