Named one of the Best Books of 2005 by "The New York Times," "The
Washington Post Book World," "The Boston Globe," "The Chicago
Tribune," "The" "San Francisco Chronicle Book Review," "The Los
Angeles Times Book Review," "The New York Times Book Review," "USA
Today," "Time," and "New York "magazine. "The 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. "" "The 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.
