Many Americans believe that their own government is guilty of shocking crimes. Government agents shot the president. They faked the moon landing. They stood by and allowed the murders of 2,400 servicemen in Hawaii. Although paranoia has been a feature of the American scene since the birth of the Republic, in Real Enemies Kathryn Olmsted shows that it was only in the twentieth century that strange and unlikely conspiracy theories became central to American politics. In particular, she posits World War I as a critical turning point and shows that as the federal bureaucracy expanded, Americans grew more fearful of the government itself--the military, the intelligence community, and even the President. Analyzing the wide-spread suspicions surrounding such events as Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination, Watergate, and 9/11, Olmsted sheds light on why so many Americans believe that their government conspires against them, why more people believe these theories over time, and how real conspiracies--such as the infamous Northwoods plan--have fueled our paranoia about the governments we ourselves elect. This 10th Anniversary Edition includes a new epilogue on conspiracy theories and the 2016 election and its aftermath.

I searched all over Google “How to write an introduction for a novel?” and to be honest I found nothing. So, I have written by opening my heart, every word is written from my heart. I read many books, all books speak about strengths, peace, success, wealth and health too. But I didn’t find any book which speaks on our enemies. We know that half of our time will be spent on thinking about our enemies and tackling them. So, I decided to write a book on enemies. The story starts from childhood to old age explains all the incidents which a common man faces and coming to know all his enemies. The specialties of the book are it helps to find your real enemies, the other specialty is there are tasks which you have to do. This is a novel that is not just a story but some tasks that need to perform. One more specialty is I wrote this book when I was 18 and published it when I was 19. I am hundred percent sure after you read this book, you will never feel that this is a book written by a teenager. This book is written in a very simple language which can be completed in just 1 week. This a book which doesn’t require a dictionary to read, everything is written in simple language. My friends and the publishers read this book in just one week. This is the best book for a beginner to start habituating to reading novels. I didn’t see any book which was written in this simpler language. There might be some books written in simpler language but are very rare. Reading 180 pages of a book may look difficult to complete in one week. You are right but not this book. Don’t keep any doubts in mind just start reading the book. The book may seem boring in middle but has a very good meaning in the story.

Two Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists take an unbridled look into one of the most sensitive post-9/11 national security investigations—a breathtaking race to stop a second devastating terrorist attack on American soil. In Enemies Within, Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman “reveal how New York really works” (James Risen, author of State of War) and lay bare the complex and often contradictory state of counterterrorism and intelligence in America through the pursuit of Najibullah Zazi, a terrorist bomber who trained under one of bin Laden’s most trusted deputies. Zazi and his co-conspirators represented America’s greatest fear: a terrorist cell operating inside America. This real-life spy story—uncovered in previously unpublished secret NYPD documents and interviews with intelligence sources—shows that while many of our counterterrorism programs are more invasive than ever, they are often counterproductive at best. After 9/11, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly initiated an audacious plan for the Big Apple: dispatch a vast network of plainclothes officers and paid informants—called “rakers” and “mosque crawlers”—into Muslim neighborhoods to infiltrate religious communities and eavesdrop on college campuses. Police amassed data on innocent people, often for their religious and political beliefs. But when it mattered most, these strategies failed to identify the most imminent threats. In Enemies Within, Appuzo and Goldman tackle the tough questions about the measures that we take to protect ourselves from real and perceived threats. They take you inside America’s sprawling counterterrorism machine while it operates at full throttle. They reveal what works, what doesn’t, and what Americans have unknowingly given up. “Did the Snowden leaks trouble you? You ain’t seen nothing yet” (Dan Bigman, Forbes editor).
