Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman, winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting, will discuss and sign copies of their new book "Enemies Within: Inside the NYPD's Secret Spying Unit and bin Laden's Final Plot Against America," at a National Press Club book event on Sept. 10 at 6:30 p.m.

This is a ticketed event and registration is required here. Tickets are $5 for NPC members; $10 for the general public.

This event is a fundraiser for the NPC Journalism Institute. No outside books permitted.

For Americans who wonder, "How safe are we?" Associated Press reporters Apuzzo and Goldman pull back the curtain to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of our counter-terrorism measures.

Six months after the 9/11 attacks, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly initiated a straightforward, yet audacious, anti-terrorist plan to be implemented in the Big Apple. The NYPD would dispatch a vast network of undercover officers and informants — known as "mosque crawlers" and "rakers" — into Muslim neighborhoods to eavesdrop on conversations in mosques and community centers. "Enemies Within" answers the tough questions about the effectiveness of the measures we take to protect ourselves from real and false threats. Its shocking details about the tactics and activities of the NYPD reveal what it really takes to hunt down terrorists in America.

Apuzzo and Goldman shared in the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for a series on the New York Police Department's clandestine spying program targeting American Muslims.
