Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From flying combat missions over the Persian Gulf and Bosnia, Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson was selected to serve in the Clinton White House in one of the most sensitive of all positions — carrying the "football" with the nuclear codes needed by the President in case of nuclear war.

While Colonel Patterson — who worked closely with the Secret Service — took his duties with the seriousness they deserved, he was shocked to discover that the President of the United States did not. For President Clinton, America's military was a toy — and a toy that he treated with contempt, irresponsibility, and neglect.
-- In Dereliction of Duty, you'll discover:
-- How President Clinton left American pilots circling over targets in Iraq — so long that their mission was eventually called off — because he refused to be disturbed while watching a golf match.
-- How the breaking of the Monica Lewinsky story in the Washington Post — Colonel Patterson was the first person to see him that morning — so distracted Clinton that it prevented them from changing the nuclear codes.
-- How Hillary Clinton forbade military personnel from wearing their uniforms in the White House.
-- How the military and intelligence communities were treated with such disdain — and America's guard so lowered — as to set the stage for the September 11 tragedy.
-- How Colonel Patterson worked with the Secret Service to prevent terrorist attacks on the President.

Here is the ultimate insider's account from the highest and most sensitive levels of the Clinton administration, revealing how the irresponsible use of power can lead to a terrible price paid by all Americans.
