Dereliction of Duty

Here is the ultimate insider's account from the highest and most sensitive levels of the Clinton administration, revealing how the irresponsible use of power can lead to a terrible price paid by all Americans.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson, United States Air Force (Ret.), served with distinction and saw tours of duty in Grenada, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and Bosnia. As the senior ranking officer of the five military aides serving in the Clinton White House, he carried the "nuclear football" -- the top-secret briefcase containing the launch codes for America's nuclear weapons.
