The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals by Jane Mayer

5.0

It is interesting to read this book ten years on after two changes of administration. It puts into context the world as we live in under the Trump America. Is it worse than Bush? Is it better to have dirty deeds done in secret or on Twitter? And despite the loud opposition to Guantanamo, how did it manage to last during the eight year Obama government? He had two years of total control in which to correct this injustice. It is remarkable that when I searched Wikipedia for some of the names in this book, many were still in Cuba.

This book was well written, thought provoking, and a great example of investigative journalism.
