WASHINGTON, May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former CIA deputy director Michael Morell will offer his assessment of the agency's counterterrorism successes and failures of the last 20 years at a National Press Club Newsmaker on Monday, May 18 at 10 a.m. in the club's Bloomberg Room.

Morell will argue that the threat of terrorism did not die with bin Laden and will illuminate new and growing threats from terrorist groups that could leave this country vulnerable to attacks much larger than 9/11 if not addressed.

These insights are discussed in his new book, The Great War of Our Time: The CIA's Fight Against Terrorism‑From al Qa'ida to ISIS.

Morell is one of this country's most prominent national security professionals, with extensive experience in intelligence and foreign policy. Mr. Morell was a top CIA officer for over 30 years who played a critical role in the most important counterterrorism events of the past two decades.

The National Press Club is located on the 13^th floor of the National Press Building at 529 14th St. NW, Washington DC 20045.

Like all Newsmaker events, this news conference is open to credentialed press and NPC club members, free of charge. No advance registration is required.
