A New York Times bestselling, explosive memoir about the creation and implementation of the controversial enhanced interrogation techniques by the former Chief Operations Officer for the CIA’s Center for Counterterrorism.

Former Chief of the CIA’s Center for Counterterrorism, Jose A. Rodriguez, Jr., reveals how, in the wake of 9/11, government-approved hard measures used on captured high-level al-Qa’ida operatives derailed terrorist threats to the US, contributed to the capture of Osama bin Laden, and saved countless American lives. That is, until initial support gave way to shortsighted political correctness, leaving those responsible for protecting our nation second-guessed, hamstrung, and investigated. In effect, the United States has chosen to willfully and unilaterally disarm itself in the war on terror.

Rodriguez melds his fascinating life story with a reasoned, previously untold, and convincing case for hard measures. Fully disclosing explosive details of when and how they were used, and why these methods were necessary, he offers a rare insider’s look at an issue that seizes public attention and inspires vigorous debate.

Very detailed book by a CS or Spy within the DO and later CTC
The book is simply amazing, and goes through great detail on the psyche of the CIA CT efforts - remember it is really a HUMInT agency, so CT was only 10-20% of its output. Jose acted as a true spy and shadow warrior. He was treated like crap by the bureaucracy. He was the man who took the decisions that others didn’t want to. A typical spy, that is, someone who has no time for Bullshit but who is very very intelligent. Jose wherever you are; I salute you. Thank you for your career. And I wish you and your wife all the best. And thank you to CIA for allowing this through, and for all your efforts. 5/5 is too low. It was a superb read. The ending was very moving.

A moving book from a patriot and professional Spy
