"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 Guantànamo, 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
