description: Pete Hoekstra, the former chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, tells the real story behind the tragic events in Benghazi and the Obama Administration's disastrous foreign policy catastrophe in Libya. ARCHITECTS OF DISASTER documents the role played by an inexperienced president and a politicized US State Department under Hillary Clinton in turning a stable North African country into a failed jihadist state spreading terrorism throughout the Middle East and releasing a flood of fearful immigrants onto the Mediterranean and into Europe. “In his new book, Pete Hoekstra cuts to the core in identifying how a radical Islamist agenda left to its own devices cannot reconcile with Western ideals of tolerance and acceptance. Architects of Disaster creates the necessary framework in which future administrations can apply lessons learned to better inform critical foreign policy decisions.”— Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts and 2012 Republican Presidential nominee “A graphic autopsy of what went wrong in Libya and why.”— James Jay Carafano, Heritage Foundation “Pete Hoekstra’s thorough examination of how the Obama Administration’s misguided policies contributed in the past few years to Libya’s disintegration is must reading. This insightful history and analysis is worth careful study, especially as America’s citizens debate what policies should come next after President Obama leaves office.”— John Bolton, former US Ambassador to the UN
