is a collection of Hersh's columns from the New Yorker. As the subtitle would suggest most of them are on the War on Terror. As well as the scandal around Abu Ghraib. Each column is introduced with updates up to 2004 when the book was published. When these first came out they were earth shattering but now they have seemingly fated into the backround. If you've been following the story over the last several years there isn't much that isn't referenced by everybody else. It's still interesting to be reading the columns that broke the news.Recommended.
is the reported memoirs of A scam artist and murderer who was active in the 1920s and 30s. He tries to argue that he only took advantage of people when he needed it or when they were stupid enough to trust him. He also gets taken frequently himself by others he shouldn't have trusted which does make it seem a little more acceptable. He travels from Scotland to the United States than to Asia ending up finally in China.
