The book detailed the prosecution of a single al-Qaeda terrorist, illustrating broader counterterrorism debates spanning from the Bush to the Trump administrations. The author was inspired to write it after a chance encounter with an assistant U.S. attorney who recounted the incredible investigative story of proving the terrorist's involvement in attacks from the early War on Terror era.
Then, CNN's Jake Tapper talks to Tommy about the fate of his network now that its parent company is for sale, the decimation of the Pentagon Press Corps, and his new book, Race Against Terror, chasing an Al-Qaeda killer in the dawn of the forever war.
Joining me today is CNN's lead DC anchor and chief Washington correspondent and the author of the new book, which I'm holding up right here for our YouTube viewers, Race Against Terror, Chasing an Al-Qaeda Killer at the Dawn of the Forever War.

And Dave Bidcower tells me this incredible story about they fly there. They hear his confession in Italy. And then because it's the Obama era and Gitmo is not taking in any new people and the Italians wouldn't have turned him over anyway.
The book is called I got it right here. Race Against Terror. You trace the story of the prosecution of this one al-Qaeda terrorist and what it tells us about the broader war on terror.
