"A powerful, brilliantly researched and deeply unsettling
book....extraordinary and invaluable" --Alan Brinkley, "New York
Times Book Review
"
"If you intend to vote in November and read only one book between
now and then, this should be it." --"Los Angeles Times
""Some of "The Dark Side" seems right out of "The Final Days,"
minus Nixon's operatic boozing and weeping.... Nixon parallels take
us only so far, however. "The Dark Side" is scarier than "The Final
Days" because these final days aren't over yet and because the
stakes are much higher." --Frank Rich, "New York Times
""In "The Dark Side," Jane Mayer, a staff writer for the New
Yorker, documents some of the ugliest allegations of wrongdoing
charged against the Bush administration. To dismiss these as wild,
anti-American ravings will not do. They are facts, which Mayer
substantiates in persuasive detail, citing the testimony not of
noted liberals like Noam Chomsky or Keith Olbermann but of military
officers, intelligence professionals, "hard-line law-and-order
stalwarts in the criminal justice system" and impeccably
conservative Bush appointees who resisted the conspiracy from
within the administration."
--"Washington Post Book World
"""Whatever it takes to get those bastards." The true nature of our
Faustian bargain would not become clear until later, and maybe it
needed a journalist as steely and tenacious as Jane Mayer to give
us the full picture. "The Dark Side" is about how the war on terror
became "a war on American ideals," and Mayer gives this story all
the weight and sorrow it deserves. Many books get tagged with the
word "essential"; hers actually is."
--"Salon.com "
"
""In Jane Mayer'sangry and important book The Dark Side, '' the
tenacious New Yorker reporter takes us, step by step, through the
process by which practices and methods we associate with tyrannies
became official U.S. policy." --"Bloomberg
""(In) "The Dark Side," Jane Mayer's riveting and shocking new
book, and not the least of the themes to emerge from it is that
we've witnessed something new in American history: the imperial
vice presidency." --"New York Observer
"
"Essential reading for those who think they can stand the truth."
-- Bob Herbert, "New York Times
"
"Like a good suspense novel....potent and disturbing stuff." --
