Chain Of Command by Seymour M. Hersh
The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib
A detailed investigative account that traces how decisions after 9/11 — from flawed intelligence and policy choices to the development of harsh interrogation practices — produced the Iraq war debacle and the abuses at Abu Ghraib; the book argues that failures were not isolated but flowed from top-level decisions, institutional pressure to produce evidence of weapons, secret legal and operational arrangements between the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, and a culture of secrecy and obfuscation that enabled cover-ups and shifted blame onto lower-level personnel.
