Hersh entered the forefront of investigative journalism 40 years ago when he broke the news of the My Lai massacre, for which he won a Pulitzer. Ever since, he's challenged America's power elite by publishing the stories that others can't or won't tell. In exposés on subjects ranging from Saudi corruption to nuclear black marketeers & the White House's false claims about weapons of mass destruction, he's cemented a reputation as an indispensable reporter. Chain of Command looks behind the public story of Bush's "war on terror" & into the lies & obsessions that led to Iraq. He reveals the connections between early missteps in the hunt for Al Qaeda & disasters on the ground in Iraq. The book includes an account of his pursuit of the Abu Ghraib story & of where responsibility for the scandal ultimately lies. He draws on sources at the highest levels of government & intelligence communities, in foreign capitals & on the battlefield for an unparalleled view of recent history. With an introduction by The New Yorker's editor, Chain of Command portrays an administration blinded by ideology & a President who's made the world a more dangerous place.
