Chapter 8: Lessons
“The Domestic Politics of Terrorism: Lessons from the Clinton Administration is a must-read for scholars and students alike. As a case study in presidential leadership in the post-Cold War, pre 9-11 era, it informs us how Bill Clinton learned to frame terrorist challenges and rally the public, allies, and political opponents to establish 21st century public policy goals and serve presidential political purposes as well.”
— Shelton L. Williams, President of The Osgood Center for International Studies
“Professor Hulme has compiled a riveting account of the interaction between/among the Clinton administration, partisan politics, the American public, and the media to assess Clinton’s counterterror legacy. This book traces major terrorist attacks on the US assets, including but not limited to, Khobar Tower bombings and the Cole bombing episode with a view toward exploring their historical and domestic implications. It is the first to include a systematic survey of the Clinton presidency in managing such a global menace, and it constitutes a unique treatment of all political aspects pertaining to coping with global terrorism in one comprehensive and definitive volume.”
