He wasn't being forced to. He did it because that was his job to be an employee of the president. He also specifically said that he has done the same for other presidents
But I think now, outside of the burden of employment, he can feel more free to tell his story.
And I don't think he is sensationalizing it to improve sales. We all know the man was rabidly pursuing terrorism. That he was preceived as unhinged before 9/11. The guy actually unsettles me a bit in his insistance that we need to curtail some civil liberties to get all the terrorist.
I think his book is really his honest analysis of this nations terrorist response, both present and past. He sees this as his opportunity to open Americas eyes to the threat we face and the need to take steps to combat it.
