Beschreibung:
James Risen ist bei der "New York Times" für den Bereich Nationale Sicherheit zuständig. Er gehört zu dem Team, das 2002 für seine Hintergrundberichterstattung zum 11. September 2001 und zum Terrorismus mit dem Pulitzer- Preis geehrt wurde.
"War corrupts. Endless war corrupts absolutely. Ever since 9/11 America has fought an endless war on terror, seeking enemies everywhere and never promising peace. In Pay Any Price, James Risen reveals an extraordinary litany of the hidden costs of that war: from squandered and stolen dollars, to outrageous abuses of power, to wars on normalcy, decency, and truth. In the name of fighting terrorism, our government has done things every bit as shameful as its historic wartime abuses -- and until this book, it has worked very hard to cover them up. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. FDR authorized the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans. Presidents Bush and Obama now must face their own reckoning. Power corrupts, but it is endless war that corrupts absolutely"
