The Last Thing He Wanted by Joan Didion

A hard-edged journalist covering U.S. politics and Central American conflicts becomes entangled in a murky web of covert operations, arms deals and political betrayal after unexpectedly taking on a dangerous personal responsibility; as she pursues the story, the lines between reporting and complicity blur, revealing the opaque machinery of power, moral decay and the costs of bearing witness.
