Since September 11, 2001, Seymour M. Hersh has riveted
readers -- and outraged the Bush Administration -- with his
explosive stories in The New Yorker, including his headline-
making pieces on the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. Now,
Hersh brings together what he has learned, along with new
reporting, to answer the critical question of the last four
years: How did America get from the clear morning when two
planes crashed into the World Trade Center to a divisive
and dirty war in Iraq? In Chain of Command, Hersh takes an unflinching look behind
the public story of the war on terror and into the lies and
obsessions that led America into Iraq. 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 critical chapter
in America's recent history. In a new afterword, he
critiques the government's failure to adequately
investigate prisoner abuse -- at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere --
and punish those responsible. With an introduction by The
New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, Chain of Command is 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.
