Book Abstract

In Chain of Command, Seymour M. Hersh brings together his breakthrough reporting on the Abu Ghraib prison scandal along with new revelations to answer the critical question of the last three years: How did America get from the morning when hijackers crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to a divisive war in Iraq?

Hersh takes an unflinching look beyond the public story of President Bush’s war on terror and into what he believes are the lies and obsessions that led America into Iraq. In Chain of Command, he draws on sources at the highest levels of the American government and intelligence community for an unparalleled view of a crucial chapter in America’s recent history. Hersh presents a devastating portrait of an administration blinded by ideology and of a President whose decisions have made the world a more dangerous place for America.
