Finding Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, had
long been the U.S. military's top priority--trumping even the
search for Osama bin Laden. No brutality was spared in trying to
squeeze intelligence from Zarqawi's suspected associates. But these
"force on force" techniques yielded exactly nothing, and, in the
wake of the Abu Ghraib scandal, the military rushed a new breed of
interrogator to Iraq. Matthew Alexander, a former criminal
investigator and head of a handpicked interrogation team, gives us
the first inside look at the U.S. military's attempt at more
civilized interrogation techniques--and their astounding success.
Matthew and his team decided to get to know their opponents. Who
were these monsters? Who were they working for? Every day the
"'gators" matched wits with a rogues' gallery of suspects brought
in by Special Forces: egomaniacs, bloodthirsty adolescents,
opportunistic stereo repairmen, Sunni clerics horrified by the
sectarian bloodbath, al Qaeda fanatics, and good people in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
This account is an unputdownable thriller--more of a
psychological suspense story than a war memoir--and a reminder that
we don't have to become our enemy to defeat him.
