Description

A New York Times Notable Book. In Pay Any Price, Pulitzer Prize winner James Risen reveals the hidden costs of America's war on terror. Since 9/11, the US has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. The book exposes a litany of shocking incidents, including billions of dollars that went missing from Iraq only to turn up in a bunker in Lebanon, whistleblowers abused by the government, and a professional organisation forced to investigate its own involvement with torture. Risen sheds light on acts that rival historic wartime abuses, and worked hard to cover them up. This powerful book brings these incidents into the light, providing a wide-ranging look at the consequences of the so-called war on terror.
