A behind-the-scenes look at "the most powerful committee in the history of the world," the small group of men and women who work, often in secret, within the White House to make the most fateful decisions of our time.


The people at the top of the American national security establishment, the President and his principal advisors, the core team at the helm of the National Security Council, are without question the most powerful committee in the history of the world. Yet, in many respects, they are among the least understood. As deputy undersecretary of commerce, David Rothkopf served in senior positions in the U.S. government and knows personally many of its key players of the last twenty-five years.

David J. Rothkopf, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, served in the Clinton Administration, and formerly as managing director of Kissinger Associates. A well-known commentator for leading newspapers and magazines, he has taught international relations at Columbia University; written, co-authored or edited five other books on international and information age themes; and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the President's Advisory Council of the U.S. Institute of Peace. He lives in Washington DC.
