The first full reckoning of what actually happened at Abu
Ghraib prison—“one of the most devastating of the many books
on Iraq” (The New York Times Book Review) A relentlesly surprising and perceptive account of the front
lines of the war on terror, Standard Operating Procedure is
a war story that takes its place among the classics.
Acclaimed author Philip Gourevitch presents the story behind
a defining moment in the war, and a defining moment in our
understanding of ourselves— the infamous Abu Ghraib
photographs of prisoner abuse. Drawing on Academy
Award–winning filmmaker Errol Morris’s astonishing
interviews with the Americans who took and appeared in the
pictures, Standard Operating Procedure is an utterly
original book that stands to endure as essential reading
long after the current war in Iraq passes from the headlines.
