Synopsis
In his devastating new book Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind takes readers inside the defining conflict of our era: the war between the West and a growing, shadowy army of terrorists, armed with weapons of alarming power. Relying on unique access to former and current government officials, this book will reveal for the first time how the US government -- from President Bush on down -- is frantically improvising to fight a new kind of war. Where is the enemy? What have been the real victories and defeats since 9/11? How are we actually fighting this war and how can it possibly be won? Filled with astonishing disclosures, Suskind's book shows readers what he calls the invisible battlefield -- a global matrix where US spies race to catch soldiers of jihad before they strike. It is a real-life spy thriller with the world's future at stake. It also reveals the shocking and secret philosophy underpinning the war on terror. Gripping and alarming in equal measure, it will reframe the debate about a war that, each day, redefines America and its place in the world.

From AudioFile
A word that quickly comes to mind, shortly into this audiobook, is "elegant." Suskind's writing lends itself to this format because he so skillfully turns a phrase. And Edward Herrmann is a perfect reader for this book, lilting over Suskind's snappy but sometimes complex prose yet remaining calm throughout this most dead-serious of subject matter. Suskind did a first-rate reporting job here. The reader is whisked into the secret inner workings of the war on terror, with revelations at every turn. A fascinating listen, also deeply disturbing, written and read by men worthy of the task. One minor disappointment: no audio extras; this would have been an excellent forum for an author interview.
