No brutality was spared in trying to squeeze intelligence from Zarqawi's suspected associates. But these force on force techniques yielded exactly nothing, and, in the wake of the Abu Ghraib scandal, the military rushed a new breed of interrogator to Iraq. Matthew Alexander, a former criminal investigator and head of a handpicked interrogation team, gives us the first inside look at the U.S. military's attempt at more civilized interrogation techniques--and their astounding success. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMatthew and his team decided to get to know their opponents. Who were these monsters? Who were they working for? Every day the 'gators matched wits with a rogues' gallery of suspects brought in by Special Forces: egomaniacs, bloodthirsty adolescents, opportunistic stereo repairmen, Sunni clerics horrified by the sectarian bloodbath, al Qaeda fanatics, and good people in the wrong place at the wrong time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis account is an unputdownable thriller--more of a psychological suspense story than a war memoir--and a reminder that we don't have to become our enemy to defeat him.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMATTHEW ALEXANDER served for fourteen years in the U.S. Air Force.
