Blinking Red: Crisis and Compromise in American Intelligence

Blinking Red: Crisis and Compromise in American Intelligence after 9/11
- Used Book in Good Condition
After the September 11 attacks, the 9/11 Commission argued that the United States needed a powerful leader, a spymaster, to forge the scattered intelligence bureaucracies into a singular enterprise to vanquish Americaâ€™s new enemiesâ€”stateless international terrorists. In the midst of the 2004 presidential election, Congress and the president remade the postâ€“World War II national security infrastructure in less than five months, creating the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and a National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).
Â
Blinking Red illuminates the complicated history of the bureaucratic efforts to reform Americaâ€™s national security after the intelligence failures of 9/11 and Iraqâ€™s missing weapons of mass destruction, explaining how the NSC and Congress shaped the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks. Michael Allen asserts that the process of creating the DNI position and the NCTC is a case study in power politics and institutional reform. By bringing to light the legislative transactions and political wrangling during the reform of the intelligence community, Allen helps us understand why the effectiveness of these institutional changes is still in question.
