The Failure Factory

The U.S. government is in crisis. The real power in America has shifted to a vast network of unelected officials whose authority has grown wildly out of control. In his latest blockbuster book, acclaimed defense and national-security reporter Bill Gertz exposes this group of astonishingly powerful leaders–and their enablers in the political class–and its devastating effect on America’s national security. Gertz names names of those who actively subvert official U.S. policy–including not only liberal Democrats but also a number of so-called Republicans who have joined this insidious “Blame America First” crowd. Based on scores of exclusive interviews and displaying the groundbreaking reporting that has made Bill Gertz’s previous books smash bestsellers, The Failure Factory offers a chilling look at the threats to our national security that exist within our own government. “Mr. Gertz makes some extremely important points.” –The Washington Times “The hottest reporter in town . . . [Gertz] breaks dozens of stories every year.” –The Washington Post
