Operation Hotel California: The Clandestine War Inside Iraq

Portada
Lyons Press, 2009 - 216 páginas
Operation Hotel California is the definitive inside account of the secret CIA mission that paved the way for the Iraq War. Based on exclusive interviews with the team leader, Charles S. Faddis - who retired in 2008 and whose name was publicly revealed in this book for the first time - it is also the most blistering indictment by any U.S. counterterrorism officer of America's blunders vis-?-vis Al-Qaeda and Iraq. Its lessons are vital as the current administration seeks to withdraw securely from Iraq and fight extremists in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
