"Summary: [In this book, the author] tells the behind-the-scenes story of how President George W. Bush and his top national security advisers, after the initial shock of the September 11 attacks, led the nation to war. Extensive quotations from the secret deliberations of the National Security Council - and firsthand revelations of the private thoughts, concerns and fears of the president and his war cabinet - make [the book a] chronicle of a modern presidency in time of grave crisis. Based on interviews with more than a hundred sources and four hours of exclusive interviews with the president, [it] reveals Bush's sweeping, almost grandiose, vision for remaking the world. [It] includes a ... portrait of CIA director George Tenet, ready and eager for covert action against terrorists in Afghanistan and worldwide.

"War on Terror merupakan alasan dasar dari intervensi Amerika Serikat (AS) di Afghanistan. Sebagai tujuan lanjutan dalam memerangi terorisme AS bersama masyarakat internasional berupaya untuk mendemokratisasi Afghanistan. Namun demikian, upaya tersebut menghadapi beberapa kendala. Salah satu diantaranya adalah peningkatan produksi opium/perdagangan narkotik dari tahun 2002 hingga 2003. Amerika Serikat merespon hal tersebut dengan mengimplementasikan strategi counternarcotics, setelah baik pemerintah Inggris maupun Afghanistan tidak dapat menghasilkan kemajuan yang signifikan dalam upaya yang sama. Namun strategi tersebut gagal mencapai tujuannya. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa terdapat faktor eksternal dan internal yang menghambat pengimplementasian strategi. Faktor eksternal bersumber dari Taliban dan petani opium. Disisi lain, faktor internal bersumber dari Amerika Serikat sendiri yaitu ketidaksistematisan implementasi proses strategi dan kompleksitas proses pembuatan kebijakan terhadap upaya counternarcotics di Afghanistan.

War on Terror was foundational of U.S presence in Afghanistan. As a futher goals for combating terrorism, U.S along with international community have tried to democratize Afghanistan. However, the efforts faced some obstacles. One of them was the increase of opium production/drug trafficking from 2002 to 2003. This condition was responded by the implementation of U.S counternarcotics strategy, after both the British and Afghanisthan government were unable to create a significant achievement in the previous efforts. However the strategy failed to meet its end. This research finds that there are external and internal factors, which inhibit implementation of the strategy. The external factor comes from Taliban and opium farmer. On the other hand, the internal factors comes from the United States itself, which are the unsystematic of strategy process implementation and the complexity of policy making process toward the counternarcotics efforts in Afghanistan."
