The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq - George Packer

Descriere The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq - George Packer

\n \nNamed One of the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review \n \nNamed one of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post Book World, The Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, Los Angeles Times Book Review, USA Today, Time, and New York magazine. \n \nWinner of the Overseas Press Club's Cornelius Ryan Award for Best Nonfiction Book on International Affairs \n \nWinner of the New York Public Library Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism \n \nThe Assassins' 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 administration's war policy and led America to the Assassins' Gate--the main point of entry into the American zone in Baghdad. \n \nThe Assassins' 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's family, and the political culture of a country too bitterly polarized to realize such a vast and morally complex undertaking. George Packer'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 America's most controversial foreign venture since Vietnam.\n
