Named one of the Best Books of 2005 by The New York Times, The Washington Post Book World, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, The Los Angeles Times Book Review, The New York Times Book Review, USA Today, Time, and New York magazine. The AssassinsΓ’β¬β’ Gate: America in Iraq recounts how the United States set about changing the history of the Middle East and became ensnared in a guerrilla war in Iraq. It brings to life the people and ideas that created the Bush administrationΓ’β¬β’s war policy and led America to the AssassinsΓ’β¬β’ GateΓ’β¬βthe main point of entry into the American zone in Baghdad. The AssassinsΓ’β¬β’ Gate also describes the place of the war in American life: the ideological battles in Washington that led to chaos in Iraq, the ordeal of a fallen soldier Γ’β¬β’s family, and the political culture of a country too bitterly polarized to realize such a vast and morally complex undertaking. George PackerΓ’β¬β’s best-selling first-person narrative combines the scope of an epic history with the depth and intimacy of a novel, creating a masterful account of AmericaΓ’β¬β’s most controversial foreign venture since Vietnam.
