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

5.0

The book tells the story behind the Bush Administration's use of detention, torture and rendition after 9/11. Very detailed, with discussions of legal issues, political in-fighting, and treatment of individual suspected terrorists. Interesting there were many in the administration, intelligence agencies and military opposed, but Cheney was the force that made it happen and made it stick. Recommend for those interested in subjects related to terrorism, but, if a Bush fan, the book doesn't portray his decision making skills favorably.
