“Confront and Conceal: Obama's Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power” is described as “a revealing and news-breaking account of the Obama Administration’s aggressive use of innovative weapons (including drones and cyber warfare) and new tools of American power to manage a rapidly shifting world of global threats and challenges.” It is a follow-up to his first book on the Obama Administration – “The Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power.”
