Description
In Chain of Command, Seymour M. Hersh takes an unflinching look behind the public story of President Bush's 'war on terror' and into the lies and obsessions that led America into Iraq. He reveals the connections between early missteps in the hunt for Al Qaeda and disasters on the ground in Iraq. The book includes a new account of Hersh's pursuit of the Abu Ghraib story and of where, he believes, responsibility for the scandal ultimately lies. Hersh draws on sources at the highest levels of the American government and intelligence community, in foreign capitals, and on the battlefield for an unparalleled view of a crucial chapter in America's recent history. With an introduction by The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, Chain of Commandis a devastating portrait of an Administration blinded by ideology and of a President whose decisions have made the world a more dangerous place for America.
