What are the motifs in Against All Enemies by Richard A. Clarke?

Terrorism is a recurring idea through the book. Clarke writes of his own work in the arena of counterterrorism between 1979 and 2003. As such, his book should not be assumed to provide a comprehensive view or history of terrorism. Thus, it is not surprising that Clarke doesn't mention, for example, that "Carlos the Jackal" was named "Ilich Ramirez." In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup which deposed the popularly elected leader of Iran's nascent democracy with Reza Shah Pahlevi's brutal dictatorship--or that, on September 11th 1973, the CIA sponsored a coup which led to Salvador Allende's democratic government--the oldest democracy in South America--being replaced by Augusto Pinochet's brutal dictatorship.
