Non-Fiction Memoir
So begins Army interrogator Tony Lagouranis's first briefing
at Abu Ghraib. When the U.S. went to war with Iraq,
Lagouranis-who joined the Army prior to September 11-was
tapped to be an interrogator in places like Abu Ghraib and
Fallujah. He believed in his mission, but he soon discovered
that pushing the legal limits of interrogation was
encouraged. Under orders, he-along with numerous other
soldiers-abused and terrorized hundreds of prisoners by
adding "enhancements" to "Fear Up Harsh," an official tactic
designed to terrify prisoners into revealing information. This is an unflinching first-hand account of how one man
struggled with his own conscience and ultimately broke the
silence surrounding interrogation practices. The first Army
interrogator to step forward and publicly denounce these
tactics, Lagouranis reveals what went on in Iraqi
prisons-raising crucial questions about American conduct
abroad.
