Holiday Readings

Here’s a recommendation for No Comment readers who got the ultimate gift for the holidays—that would, of course, be a gift certificate from a book store, or a new Sony eBook with credits for downloadable books. Five books to stock up on, and the No Comment interviews with the authors, linked:

Jane Mayer, The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals

Barton Gellman, Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency

Matthew Alexander, How to Break a Terrorist: The U.S. Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq

Philippe Sands, The Torture Team

Mohsin Hamid, The Reluctant Fundamentalist
