In this book, Jose A. Rodriguez, Jr. reveals how 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. Rodriguez melds his fascinating life story with a reasoned and previously untold case for these hard measures, fully disclosing explosive details of when and how they were used and why they were necessary. The book offers a rare insider's look at an issue that seizes public attention and inspires vigorous debate.
