"A good book to read if you want an answer to the question,
'What happened?' That is, what happened to the idealistic Obama of
the 2008 campaign who was going to shut down Guantanamo, end
indefinite detention, try terrorist suspects in civilian courts,
take civil liberties more seriously, and end the rabid secrecy of
the Bush era? How did he turn into the guy who not only didn't do
any of that stuff, but became a drone-obsessed killing machine in
the process?"
--Kevin Drum, Mother Jones "Divulge(s) the details of
top-level deliberations--details that were almost certainly known
only to the administration's inner circle. Likely to be the most
thorough accounts of America's recent national-security efforts
that we shall receive before the November election."
--The Wall Street Journal
